Wellington
Hey all,
Just got back from a solo trip down to Wellington for the weekend to just have some fun.
I flew down Friday and had a Reiki treatment. I then saw "Across the Universe" movie at the Embassy theater (that's where they premiered the Lord of the Rings movies... beautiful old theater). I think
I sat in a seat where one of the hobbits sat for the premiere as each seat still has name plates.
I met a woman that lives here with her family via another friend that came out to visit and we have kept in touch a bit. She was nice enough to invite me to stay over at their house and I took her and her 7 year old son to see the Hurricanes play Australia in rugby. It rained cats and dogs, but we all had a blast! She works for Telecom here and they had an office party before the game based on an Austrian theme. Had tons of food and games and stuff. A lot of fun and good to see some people with Team Spirit!
On Saturday I saw two fringe plays and saw another friends Gypsy band play live. That was awesome. He is also in a Ska band which I saw on Sunday morning at the TePaPa museum. I also got to go one of my favorite restaurants "Sweet Mothers" which is a New Orleans style southern restaurant!
Sunday I mostly hung out with some other friends I met via Runi (Nikkie and Frankie) and we had Malaysian for lunch and wandered around Cuba street for a bit and went to a friend of theirs place for tea. Sunday night I found a place called the Malt House which has about 40 different beers and has some really good selection, although nothing from America. I talked beer with the manager for a while and tried a few new ales out, then saw a comedy at the cinema. Also got in a few workouts at the hotel gym over the weekend and lots of walking so all in a great time other than crappy weather.
Cheers,
Matthew
