This morning we headed to the Parliament Buildings to do the tour, firstly we explored the grounds to see the iconic Beehive building (more an administrative building) and Parliament House which is the location of the debating chambers.
The Parliamentary Library is also within the grounds. The tour takes you through all three buildings, a high security area so no photos allowed inside.
From Parliament we then walked along the waterfront, Royston spotted a little blue penguin swimming around, must have got a bit lost!
We then walked down Courtnay Place - where all the bars and restaurants are located. At the end of the road is the Embassy Theatre where they were holding the NZ Premiere of Peter Jackson's latest film, The Lovely Bones. We watched them setting up and rolling out the red carpet but decided not to return that evening to watch the stars arrive.
Then back to the waterfront with the NZX stock exchange showing the number of days to the Rugby World Cup rather than the latest share prices!
