Te Papa

Full on full day at the museum. Did all of floors 2,3&4 which covered NZ natural history, geology and culture.

Had a quick pop up to floor 5 which was a photography exhibit - decided we have taken some that are just as good if not better so didn't bother with the rest of floor 5!

Giant squid was revoltingly fascinating, images showing decimation of forest and reduction in land held by Maori was depressing. Isabel was upset by the fact that the coconut tree she sent in to space as part of a simulation died. Kay enjoyed making a 'mash up' on the wall (still not quite sure what this us but apparently I did it). Pounama stone section very good, also got to see some flax weaving being done. Replayed our whole NZ journey so far on the giant floor map which if you stood on bits made photos show on the wall!

Martyn not sure what his favourite bit of the museum was but he did enjoy curry for dinner!
