Whanganui, which is about an hour or so north of Wellington was the bit of a revelation for me, I must admit I wasn't expecting much, but it was this great mix of interesting architecture, cool street art, good food and a nice vibe, I wish I could have stayed longer than one night.
These photos are two of those building, the first is a great 1960's style church, with great angles and of course the modernist colour window panels, sort of an updated take on a stained glass window.
And the second, a hall, with a greta maori tiki carving in it
