Carl in Wellington

[piwakawaka]

Carl's lucky, its not raining at the moment in Wellington when Tiwa takes him through a door and into Civic Square then says with a grin,

"Haere Mai Te Whanga-nui-a-Tara."

"Giant skeletons," he says, as he applauds the group of dancers and they take their bows.

"Sweet, we'll see those next. Maybe later, I'll even show you the way to the Dreaming."

He gets another huge grin as one of the creatures on the carving waves to Tiwa and she waves back.

"So they can just...see you and you can see them."

That's interesting.

[piwakawaka]

"They're chimera course they can see me."

[one_man_army]

"What's a chimera?"

[piwakawaka]

"Creature of the Dreaming, come on, giant skeletons are this way."

Now Carl is being moved past the Marae and onto one of the main floors of the museum, they pass through the Maori history exhibit.

"The giant skeletons were always my favorite things in museums when I was a kid," he tells her. "I had a thing for dinosaurs."

[piwakawaka]

"No dinosaurs here but we've got giant eagles, moas and huge whales."

[one_man_army]

"Whales are cool too," he says. "They're just giant."

[piwakawaka]

"Course they are."

There's a busy cafe and Tiwa heads down some stairs where they pass a cannon,

"That's from Cook's ship."
