    Botanical Gardens are more than just parks, theyre for education and research/conservation purposes….And yes, the UK has lots of them 🙂

      I totally agree!! Although maybe we just don't have any too local to us coz other than London I don't think I've ever been to any haha!

    There's lots of botanical gardens in Scotland. If you're ever in Edinburgh then you should 💯 visit the one there. It's incredible and has these huge glasshouses full of plants from all over the world.

    I just discovered you vlog ( watched your Tasmania one, going next year…very helpful it was thank you).
    I have a love-Hate thing with Welly , I love driving in for a meal ( live in Kapiti) and that’s about it…. Rather go over to the Wairarapa for the day, love the vibe over there.
    Hope your remaining time here is enjoyable✌️

    As a Wellingtonian, I honestly agree that it's not a place you need to spend a lot of time in. It's definitely worth stopping for at least a day to see Te Papa, which is unlike any museum you can visit inside the country or out. And other than that the main attractions are the Cable Car/Botanic Garden, Zealandia, Weta Workshop, and maybe Parliament, which can be worth extending your stay for another day or two if you're interested in them. Wellington is also famous for its coffee, sushi, and craft beer, so make sure to check those out if they're your thing.

      Most NZ cities aren’t really tourist destinations.
      Wellington’s a nice place to live (if you have a decent paying job). That matters more than whether it is nice to visit.

      @@danieleyre8913 Oh definitely. I live in Wellington myself and don't ever plan on living anywhere else in the country because of how ideal it is in nearly every way (apart from affordability, which isn't exactly great in any other city). There's just not much on offer for vacationing tourists who are trying to most effectively utilise their limited time.

    The reason Wellington is the capital is that Auckland Russell was fighting the gold rush boom near Dunedin so a compromise was made not Christchurch or Dunedin ir Auckland or Russell it would be in the middle of the country so Wellington it was nobody first pick so everyone lost yea?

      Wellington was chosen as the capital for obvious reasons; it is in the middle of the country and was the most convenient for the rest of the country to get to if they needed to (back in the 19th century).

    6:43 - Did you not see the multiple no camera signs? You can literally see them in the shot. Have some respect. Pretty ignorant to still film and add to your vlog. That whare was confiscated by the British army.
