It's pretty windy out here, and rainy, cloudy, basically, its 4 seasons in a day sometimes. I reach here at night, after 8 hours of bus ride from Rotorua. It was a tiring journey.. Im with Intercity NZ again @ only 35NZD! It's a pretty good deal..
had one of the most tiring walks ever to search for my accommodation, which i've prebooked with i-Site. I've decided to stay in Lodge in the City, located at Taranaki St. It's only 18NZD per night. Had to choose the cheapest one because i'm planning to stay here for a week before heading back to Auckland to catch my flight to Melbourne on the 28th.
The next morning, i head out to i-Site to meet up with Caroline and we went for walks around the town, botanical garden and Te Papa Museum. The museum is very interesting, with loads of information regarding NZ history, volcanic exhibits and such. It's was fun spending some times here.
There's a display of the colossal squid caught by some fisherman, and this one weights almost half a ton!

And we sign up for the Haka dance lesson too! It was a funny but interesting experience!
Ka Mate Ka Mate, Ka ora Ka ora
after the museum visit, we visited the shoreline of Wellington, such as along Jervois Quay. It was a beautiful place with beautiful view!
and we went for a Malaysian dinner, which was not a good experience for her as most of the foods were pretty spicy! Im sorry once again! There is Asam Laksa, Roti Canai and Nasi Lemak.. foods typically found in Msia. Not the best taste though.. It was prepared by a family from Seremban.
So, that's pretty much on the first day in Wellington.
* Caroline, wishes you an enjoyable travel and work on the South Island, hope to see you again next year :)
