Since Wellington has a heat wave (yes it’s finally reached 20+ degrees) and it is a public holiday we got into the holiday spirit and took the boat to Matui Somes Island which is slap bang in the middle of Wellington Harbour. See... 6th February is a NZ public holiday that comemorates the signing of the Waitangi Treaty which was the founding document for today’s New Zealand.
