Today, before going to Weta World
We had DESSERT LUNCH at
Strawberry Cafe
Mine was a cheese platter
Kiki had Very Berry sorbet & every thing berry
Stella had peanut-butter cheesecake …
Bertus had pecan nut & caramel
This old butler/waiter was waiting for payment
Wow, I had the opportunity to visit
Weta World Studios.
We did not do the tour into the real studio.
The shop and small exhibition area has enough to see and photograph.
Outside the building next to the entrance were
Three Trolls.
What do you see?
Inside the studio/shop…
Who are these characters?
Last ones…
Hope you enjoyed visiting Weta World!
I am very grateful for trains and busses that take people over 65 to places they won’t visit on their own.
The best is that between 9 am to 3 pm the trip is free!
I try to make a trip to Wellington city once a week now that the weather is clearing up.
Last week was very cold and cloudy.
This week the weather here in Upper Hutt was kind of clear.
Sorry to say, just before reaching Wellington station there was a heavy down pour .
It was dry during my stroll along the harbour.
I am so grateful that I could take some photos of the dark clouds
Then the sun appeared.
Better still,
nearly clear sky gave me the following
and this one!
These photos are all taken at the civic center in
Wellington New Zealand
Then back home again.
I am very grateful for the opportunity to take some special photos again.
I am grateful for having the talent to see the beauty around me and to photograph them.
I am grateful this week for an excellent report on my photo by my tutor!
What have you been grateful for this week?

This morning I went to Wellington to take some photos
for my last practical Lesson.
Creative Photos using all the techniques we learned during the course.
This was a
GOLDEN
moment
when I saw the following!
I am a bit behind with the challenges.
Last week
http://wheresmybackpack.com/2014/05/30/travel-theme-cities/
Was
CITIES
Wellington, New Zealand 2012.
Taken from Te Papa
The third part of the visit was
using the Cable Car up to the Botanical Gardens.
Going up in the Cable Car.
We also saw the Bee Hive, a Bear shop and the Train Station.
We went back at about 2 0’clock.
Tired but very happy.
We really had a good time in Wellington.
Thursday morning I parked my car at the Upper Hutt station and
we went into Wellington by train.
A whole group of International students also joined us on the train.
They were not interested in visiting museums and art galleries.
They just enjoyed the ice skating.
On the way to the Civic center.
My student and I at first went to the
City Gallery in Civic Square.
I took the following photos of the square.
WE enjoyed the City Gallery although my student is not that much interested in art.
We also visited the
Museum of Wellington City and sea.
This was very interesting.
This museum is ranked as one of the 50 best museums in the world by The Times of London.
It takes you back a thousand years and leads you to a vibrant present day Wellington.

It has been another busy week in the
Scrapydo camp.
We (that is my student and I) went on some
School Activities on Thursday!
The International students had to visit at least 5 interesting places in and around Wellington.
The week between the two long weekend was horrible weather wise.
Wednesday and Thursday were two better days.
Wednesday we went to the beach at Petone.
We first visited the Learning Connection.
A place where you can do anything crafty.
We met a dog there and I had to taken photos of it.
It had one blue and one brown eye.
Then we went on to the SEA!
Next post : See you in Wellington!
