Wellington - The Windy City

Looks like this city got the name right. It's just as bad and freezing cold as it was in Auckland, and the weather really isn't capable of befriending me with either one of those cities. It was so nice and warm and sunny the whole week everywhere else, that I am kinda feeling sorry for not being able to enjoy two probably really great cities, but as soon as you leave the hotel, you think you've been relocated straight to Antarctica. Nevertheless, we of course had a long walk around the Wharf, spent 2 amazing hours in the world-renowned Te Papa Museum, and finished the first impressions of Wellington at Wagamama, where I was finally able to stuff my face with my favorite delicacies again after almost one year of deprivation :D

Now preparing for a LOTR movie tour tomorrow (it's Rob's time for a treat now, he's had to endure so many Maori-related sightseeings with me already, so I will endure this for him) through the whole town, before that some more sightseeing (we still need to go with the cable car!), and other than planned, NOT dinner at Kai in the City, as that place has unfortunately closed down. So our first Maori meal will have to wait until next Sunday in Rotorua :(

As we will be crossing over to the South Island on Monday early in the morning, this might be our last entry for a few days, as we will not really have time down there to check in here. Stay tuned though, as latest next weekend there will be updates! Maybe earlier, but no promises!

Now watching All Blacks vs. Wallabies.
