On the last morning of my journey, before I left for home, we went for a trip on the Wellington Cable Car.
Here’s a video of the short trip. If you only have a brief time in town, this is a "must do", it’s cheap, quick, and you get to see a lot of the city in one go.
Up the top there’s a museum which describes the history of the cable car, plus the botanical gardens, planitarium and a cafe.
I only had an hour or two before my flight, so this was the best way to spend an hour.
Taupo is a huge freshwater lake in the middle of the North Island. It’s surrounded by picturesque mountains, gravelly beaches, pine trees, and green grass.

There was an ironman competition here yesterday. The winning time was almost nine hours. Can you imagine running, swimming and cycling for that long?
