I VISITED MOST OF THE LARGER MUSEUMS WHILE I WAS IN NEW ZEALAND BUT UNFORTUNATELY MY OLD CAMERA RAN OUT OF SPACE WHILE I WAS AT TE- PAPA. I TOOK A FEW PICTURES THERE BUT MOST WERE FROM THE MUSEUMS IN AUCKLAND AND CHRISTCHURCH. I BOUGHT A LITTLE CAMERA AFTER WELLINGTON. MOST MUSEUMS HAVE MUCH MORE IN STORAGE THAN ON DISPLAY SO THEY ARE KIND OF LIKE AN ICEBERG YOU CAN SEE ONLY A SMALL PART. THE WAY FOR SERIOUS RESEARCHERS TO DO IT WOULD BE TO GET PERMISSION TO STUDY THE ITEMS IN STORAGE BUT THAT TAKES MONEY, TIME AND CONNECTIONS. I ENJOYED MY TRIP AND SEEING WHAT WAS ON DISPLAY BUT MOSTLY ENJOYED SEEING THE COUNTRY . I PUT OVER 3000 KM. ON THE OLD RENT A CAR.
