Wellington

A harbour city famous for wind strong enough to have its own local mythology, a film industry that turned the surrounding hills into Middle-earth, and a coffee culture the locals will insist, loudly, invented the flat white.
The best time to visit Wellington is Dec–Mar, when typical daytime highs reach about 15°C (59°F).
