We wandered through the botanic gardens at the top and PB had a lovely long play at the playground. (Doing high fives with the other kids as they raced down the slides. )
Back down into town, where DH took the car for another oil change, while PB and I went back to Te Papa to go through the Gallipoli - The Scale of Our War exhibition.
Wow, it was so powerful. Really made it far easier to comprehend. They had a display that showed the terrain and the progress made by each side across the periods of the major battles. They also had a mocked up trench and these amazing models of real people who had been there. The models were 2.4 x human size. They had been made by Weta Workshop and were incredible. So lifelike, even down to the fine hair on the characters hands. Very moving. Bought our poppies in town ready for ANZAC day.
Home again to the campsite and looking forward to the zoo tomorrow.
