The 2011 Society for American Travel Writer's Convention

310_4949

My journey in New Zealand began with a four day pre-trip to Rotorua with sixteen others, then on to Wellington for the five-day convention of 450 people. The convention events took place in the Wellington Town Hall and adjacent Michael Fowler Convention Center. The Fowler Center, the spaceship-like structure pictured above, sits on the waterfront at the top of the Cuba Street shopping district. I divided the photos into several pages, in basic chronological order, with approximately thirty photos per page. Enjoy! - Nori

Movies eight short clips, mostly of geothermal activity. I recommend that you click on the movie page now, to allow all the movies to download while you view the three pages of photos.

Geothermal lands White Island, Rainforest Park Loop Trail, Te Papa Buried Village, Redwood Grove, Te Puia, Waimango Volcanic Valley.

Wellington photos in and around the city, including green initiatives for sustainable living, views from Mt. Victoria and the South Shore, and the Occupy encampment.

Cultural Wellington photos from a tour of Wellington's sculpture garden, artists studios, and galleries.
