Wellington Day

I woke up this morning after a really restless night! I have a nasty cold and didn't sleep too well! It was raining pretty bad so I opted to stay in bed for another couple of hours and then head to the museum as it's all dry!

I headed to the museum around midday and I spent about 4 hours there!

Firstly I went to the interactive section where I lay on a magical lilo and went floating over New Zealand! I then did a sheep shearing simulator - twice! The result was the worse you can get - twice - I shear like a townie!

I then went to one of their recent exhibitions - stamped! It's all about New Zealands postal history! It sounds really geeky but I loved it! There were some really rare stamps there including the penny black! The Queen had also donated some of the royal stamp collection to the exhibition! Some of the best parts of the exhibition were the old postcards from the war and also the original rubber stanmps they used to use when postmarking a letter!

Also on the same floor was an exhibition of B Roundhills work. This guy was an artist who used to design magazine covers and food adverts in the 1950's - really cool and very 50's ish designs!

After the museum I felt a bit funny so I got a sandwich and headed to bed again! Ugh I hate feeling ill but I didn't want to push it and make myself worse - Not with only a few days left!
