The ship managed to docked in Wellington, the windy city. It certainly lived up to its name! The family boldly battled the blustery conditions exploring the city before returning to the port for our afternoon Lord of the Rings tour. This was highlight for many. Even for those who were not big fans of the Lord of the Rings movies, a quick visit to the Mt Victoria lookout allowed an appreciation of the beauty of the Wellington and its harbour. The tour moved on to filming locations of several famous scenes before finishing off at Weta – the company who designed and fabricated almost everything Middle-earth.
