Exploring Wellington

New Zealand is naturally beautiful all over. Every where you look there is some scenic view, some trail waiting to be walked upon, some flora and fauna waiting to be discovered. This place offers a lot to do, for all tastes, in a small area.
There are some activities that S, N and I enjoy as family activities and hiking or tramping is one of them. We have been to about 3 or 4 of them so far and want to do more in the summers.
Last weekend we covered part of another long trail called the City to Sea Walkway. We found a park on the way and the kid loved it!!

While some chose to run and bound through the green grass trying to catch the blue skies...

... others decided to hitch hike!!

We went downhill...

And looked up at tall trees.

Found some HUGE trees...

And swung high on swings in the park...

And New Yorkers we have our own Central Park too :) ...

Looking forward to more tramping. Keep in mind the hiking motto "Take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but footsteps"!!

Spring is here!

Well almost here! So while the rest of the world gets ready to face fall/autumn, here in New Zealand spring is about to start. The weather is Wellington though just seems to be the same. Even though the temperatures are slightly higher, it is a lot more windy than the winter. But the silver lining in the cloud is that for the first time ever since I came here I was brave enough to venture out in 2 layers instead of 3.

Glimpses of a few spring must-dos

Eat strawberry gelato from our favourite gelato shop in the city.

Spend time at the waterfront watching sail boats, speed boats and kayaks. This picture was clicked by N *proud mommy moment* He has been showing a lot of interest towards the camera. 

Catch those tiny new greens popping up on bare trees post-winter. 

Swing in the park and fly high in the sky! 

Go for hiking and get to see awesome, picturesque landscape. 

Go to the beach and get dirty :) 

Get some spring flowers to brighten up your day!!
