While you are in Wellington don't forget to visit the colony of seals at the Owhiro Bay. It's a long walk so leave the half of a day just to go there. #weekendgetaway
Brooklyn, Wellington, New Zealand. Taken while riding my mountain bike up the hill towards Barking Emu and Red Rocks trails. Great views up there.
