Amazing lookout point at the top of Mount Victoria just above downtown Wellington. This is looking down at the city itself, but an equally expansive view of the Miramar peninsula on the other side of the city is right behind you. #merch

When we were in Wellington last summer, we had the opportunity to stay at a home perched on top of the hills overlooking Evans Bay. And what a view it was, in the mornings you're greeted by sunrise. You can clearly see the sailing boats racing in the waters.
Baleana Bay, Evans Bay Parade, Wellington. On a hot summer Saturday afternoon. Many people cycling, walkingn or jogging. Holiday makers and weekenders relax and layback. Water is crystal clear and so clean. The entire Evans Bay and the Wellington Harbour is so very calm and serene, almost like a lake. It's so heavenly here. One of the best memorable vacation for me.
