Lunchtime waterfront walk, perk of working from the office #wellington #wellingtononagoodday #wellingtonwaterfront Far too many dogs for my liking but otherwise Waikanae Beach was rather pleasant #waikanaebeach #waikanae #kapiticoast #beach All creatures great and small at the lovely Nga Manu Nature Reserve, a highlight of the Kapiti Coast #ngamanunaturereserve #ngamanu #tuatara #kea #eels #kapiticoast #reflection Wellington waterfront, wonderful despite the wind #wellington #wellingtonwaterfront #orientalbay #wellingtononagoodday Perfect weather for a decent walk up Makara Peak and along the Skyline to Johnson’s Hill #makarapeak #makarapeakmountainbikepark #makara #skylinewalkway Somehow my first trip to Zealandia in over two years despite cycling past it most days! First time I’ve seen a Pāteke there, one of the rarest ducks in the world #zealandia #patéke #pateke #wellington #bird #karori
