Giant moa, Giant Squid

We have embraced BE BAPA (as little brother calls it) as a second home. We've been six times in total now and each time have made a bee line for the giant moa (Big brothers favourites) and the Giant Squid (little brothers fav's - although he calls them 'Jant-da Moa' and 'Jant-da Did'.)

We have been artistically cultured at the Monet Exhibition (after cueing for 1.5 hours the excitement was extreme!) and our wee paleantologists have uncovered the dinosaur fossil in the sandpit. 

What an amazing place, with fantastic discovery zones full of interactive games and models, toys and comfy couches. My IQ, and vocabulary has certainly been extended! 

So far I have voted the Te Papa cafe as my personal pick for best hot-choc in new city of residence. And also takes boys  cafe experience to new levels as they sell little plastic cups full of jelly. Amazing. Out of our two hangout places discovered so far - Be Bapa is rocking. (Sorry Johnsonville Mall, you come close second.)

Wellington Museum of City and Sea - hope you're ready to knock our highly-pulled-up-museum socks off. You're next on the agenda, if we can go past the lure of the giant moa and giant squid.
