Even though New Zealand is no longer a British colony you can still see the British influence everywhere. Cars drive on the wrong side of the road, there is the queen on the dollar bills an in Wellington they even have proper English weather.
My plan for Wednesday was to go to the Rimutaka forest park and try to spot an actual live kiwi bird. I took an early train from Wellington to Waterloo and then a bus to Wainuimotaka (every other place here starts with Wai... which means water in Maori). After about one hour and half way to Mt. McKerrow it started to rain. First it was just a light drizzle but the higher I was the worse the rain got. After one and a half hour of hiking I decided to turn around and head back to Wellington. And of course I have not seen any kiwis or any other interesting birds that are supposed to live in that area.
In the afternoon I went to the Te Papa museum where I learned a lot about New Zealand's nature and history.
