The Windy City. New Zealand’s little San Francisco.
The iconic red Wellington Cable Car rambling up to the botanic gardens. A stop at the beautiful Wellington Sourdough bakery. Falling in love with the layers of hills and rocky coastlines disappearing and reappearing in the fog. And the cable cars. The cable cars! Wellington's harbor is surrounded by hills and their sprawling communities; many residents have private cable cars that whisk owners from the streets into the trees to their homes.
I arrived in Wellington straight off 4 days of trekking, and decided to select a few cozy homes for a restful stay in the world’s windiest city. I soaked up the stormy skies and cool, fall temperatures from a hilltop studio, a stone castle on the sea, and a tree house only accessible via cable car.
