After Katherine dropped us back in downtown Wellington we had a little time before things started closing so we decided we'd hit one more museum before leaving Wellington behind for this trip. We went to the Museum of Wellington and Sea. This museum is all about the history of Wellington City specifically. It had some really cool stuff in there to do with the history; as an example they had a yearly "major" news story from when Wellington started to present. It was neat to see how people lived back in the 1800's and even the early 1900's. Things sure have changed, just thinking we can fly to New Zealand in 14 hours non-stop whereas back then you'd be on a ship for weeks. Once we were done at the museum we dropped off the bottle of wine Ziad bought and the bottles of olive oil and head out to find some dinner. Neither of us were hungry for a big meal, so we thought something light, perhaps take-away and head back to the hotel to relax and pack for our next flight. We found this Indian restaurant called Satay Indian Cuisine about 3 blocks from the hotel. They had a great special on that night: $10 curry dishes and that came with rice and nann bread. The portions were a little smaller than a regular dinner portions, but is was just enough for what we were looking for and it taste great too. I had Chilli Chicken and Ziad had Butter Chicken.

The next morning we had a couple hours befor having to head to the airport for our 5th flight on this trip. We had an overpriced breakfast at Mr. Bun Cafe...$25 for toast and scrambled eggs for Ziad and toasted bagels with sliced tomatoes for me and we each had a flat white coffee. For the quantity and quality the price was steep in my opinion. After breakfast we head over to an area called Mount Victoria, which has nice views overlooking the city. We continued on to the War Memorial and Tomb of the Unknown Solider, which represents some 9000 unknown fallen Kiwi soliders. This is located by Massey University. We spent a little time looking around the memorial before heading back to the hotel. Along our way back, we stopped at a place we found a little earlier in our stay called Chocolate & Coffee Cafe. Two of my favourite things in one!!! Of course we had to check it out...helps that Ziad loves chocolate too. We sampled some different chocolate flavours like sea salt, lemongrass, lemon and black pepper....okay so you're probably thinking, why would anyone eat those combinations?? Well, so was I and I don't have an answer. We did buy a couple bars of ones we liked.

Off to the airport for our last real stop before heading back to Vancouver, reality and work....ugh!
