It had been very wet and windy while I had been there. And the temperature varied greatly from day to day. Sometimes, people were walking with a winter coat and I could see my breath in the cold air. I heard that it was unusually cold for this time of year....

This is the place where the last movie of "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy was made for its world debut in 2003. Before the showing, Peter Jackson and the casts held a parade from here to the parliament building in the city. More than 200 thousand fans crowded along the street!
