Well I'm writing this a good five months later, so I guess this will have to be a short summary as I test my memory!
We had a short trip away to Lake Ferry for a change of scene, where we hiked around the Pinnacles....
We had a short trip away to Lake Ferry for a change of scene, where we hiked around the Pinnacles....
checked out Cape Palliser lighthouse...
got delayed by cows in the road...
stumbled across a rather odd vehicle graveyard...
climb in a hill in the most ridiculous winds known to mankind...
and strolled along the black sands.
We tried out some more yoga classes in Wellington, went to a few gigs including the incredible Richter City Rebels, continued to hike around the city and enjoy the beautiful skies and sunsets.
We attended a beer tasting session at Regional Wines and Beers, which was a treat as usual!
Our friends Helen and Ross left Wellington so we gave them a send off with style, with an afternoon tea for the girls and a pub crawl for the boys. And a dive off the pier for Ross! We were gutted to see them go.
We were treated to a fabulous Midwinter feast courtesy of Lou and Robbie, which for some reason we have no photographs of!
And then we had to prepare for end. Which was really sad. And stressful. We aren't very good at goodbyes, so didn't have a big bash, but tried to see everyone before we left to say 'so long'. Our last day was wonderful, and very relaxed. We spent some time with our friends Kagan and Sarah, drinking some beers and helping Kagan to brew. Then we toddled off to the Garage Project brewery and bought a souvenir poster, which we then massively struggled to fit in our rucksacks! We packed up and said goodbye to our home.
It was quite sad and we had really mixed feelings about leaving Wellington. Our time in New Zealand has been amazing and we feel very lucky to have had such a wonderful 15 months here.
But for now, Hong Kong and further adventures beckon!!
