We just plan to have half day in Wellington. So we will have more buffer for bad weather Tongariro crossing trip cancellation.
Te Papa Tongarewa Museum
Free entrance but the parking fee almost kill me. End up rush to finish it to prevent the parking fee.
Never expected a Sunday market available. Just next to the museum, is a surprise for me as not planned and never know about it.

Whitebait.
Whitebait is a collective term for the immature fry of fish, typically between 25 and 50 millimetres long. Such young fish often travel together in schools along the coast, and move into estuaries and sometimes up rivers where they can be easily caught with fine meshed fishing nets. Whitebaiting is the activity of catching whitebait.
Whitebait are tender and edible, and can be regarded as a delicacy. The entire fish is eaten including head, fins, bones, and guts. Some species make better eating than others, and the particular species that are marketed as "whitebait" varies in different parts of the world.
As whitebait consists of immature fry of many important food species (such as herring, sprat, sardines, mackerel, bass and many others) it is not an ecologicially viable foodstuff and in several countries strict controls on harvesting exist.

Random pic on the journey to Lake Taupo.
We reach Lake Taupo after sunset, so we do not take any picture. We stay at Blackcurrant Backpackers.
