Wanganui est 200K nord de Wellington et est renomme pour ces bateaux sur la riviere et un focus sur l'art.
The town is built on the side of the river with the centre of the town containing buildings dating back over a hundred years as illustrated by the old Post Office built in 1903 and now amongst other things a cafe:
La ville a ete construite au bord de la riviere et le centre de la ville a les batiments ages de plus de 100 ans, comme l'ancien Bureau de Poste construit en 1903:
Other buildings included a magnificent bank built in 1906 which served the purpose of a bank for over 70 years.
Ici une magnifique banque qui a ete construite en 1906.
Of interest also was the Tram Shed http://www.tramways.org.nz/ where a group of volunteers had and were renovating trams which were used some years ago in Wanganui. Wanganui was the first provicial town to have a tram system. Below is an example of the ''before and after'' state of the trams in the shed:
Aussi il y avait un Tram Shed ou une groupe de benevoles sont en train de renover les anciens "trams" qui etaient en service il y a quelques annees a Wanganui. Ici un exemplaire d'un tram "avant" et "apres" renovation.
Then it was on to Wellington for some delicious Moules Marinieres (made by France) and a superb BBQ (we seem to be having BBQs all the time!!) and on the TV the chance to see South Africa struggle against Samoa
