Day 8 
Our day in Wellington, our capital city, begins with a shuttle bus ride from QM2’s berth into the city. We are very impressed at the number of electric busses.
As always we are in search of good coffee. Wellington is renowned for its coffee and we are not disappointed. Full flavoured, rich (not burnt)! Thanks Victoria Street Café!
We love the way the newer buildings blend so well with the older architecture, the feel of the city with workers walking into work, the lovely big department stores and the green spaces and walkways along Jervois Quay. It is a busy city, but it has a calmness about it, unlike hectic, aggressive cities.
During our meanderings we come across a small group of primary school children who are having a question and answer session with the Commissioner for Children. Children are asking some fairly serious questions about his role and when he asks them how the commission could make Wellington a better place for children, their ideas are well considered and thoughtful until one very young lad ponders whether there could be more sausages!
