I went to Wellngton, three years ago. Took the cable car. Your poem reminds me of this capital city.

Nice portrayal of the city life when you had been a part of long back. I fully appreciate your observation 'This poem is a record of my memories of Wellington nearly fifty years later'. Thanks also for the Poet's Notes which give us valuable inputs about some people and places.

You have noticed the main points about the poem. It is a long time ago now. I was implying at the end that studying the right author is more important than seeing sights, listing attractions, 'must sees'.

At Island Bay, near the beach you were only the boarder. Long walks on The Esplanade near the house of Bus-Stop were memorable. Every walk was very memorable and special. Passing through in Wellington you had noticed the university of diversity. This poem is excellently penned basing upon your past memories of studenthood. Thank you very much for sharing this excellent poem...10

I did indeed like going for long walks on The Esplanade near the sea, and I still take long walks in the city I live in. I said' I was just passing through', as I had only one year-1965-there. You make another fine assessment.
