I really like Wellington. It's not brilliant like Glasgow or Edinburgh, but it definitely can be classed a 'great'. I like it here.
There are second hand bookshops open late, gift shops that sell interesting things that are not made from greenstone or paua, theatres, a proper range of CD and DVD shops, nice wee cafés, lovely botanical gardens, some buildings with a sense of real history to them, the excellent Te Papa museum.
To me it doesn't have quite the character (yet) of my favourite cities - it feels a wee bit like a chunk of London lifted up and shipped over to New Zealand.
It's good, I like it.
