During last month I was wandering around the city when the weather was nice. Wellington is a beautiful city. Not too big though and it certainly doesn't feel like a capital city. My favorite spot is the Botanical Garden located on one of the hills surrounding the city. To get there I usually catch the cable car- cute, red train taking off from one of the main streets. Another great place is Te Papa- national museum. I was very impressed with exhibitions there as it's very interactive and so different than the museums I've seen so far. It's quite surprising that the entry is free.

The title of the post refers to the weather here- Wellington region is famous for being really windy. I remember when I walked around the city and I thought it was windy everyone kept telling me it was just a breeze. After few days I experienced a windy day... It means you can hardly catch your breath and you need to lean to be able to walk. Slowly I'm getting used to it. Weather in general here is quite unpredictable. Luckily summer is coming soon so I hope for more sunny and beautiful days.
Today was also quite nice so normally we would go to the batch but my poor boyfriend caught a chest infection few days ago so... But he took me for ice-creams to Plimmerton where the Polish restaurant is. It was closed but I'm going to try it out next weekend. I guess I'm getting little bit homesick :)

It all just looks ah-mazing! And you got a job! Where? Congrats! :)
OdpowiedzUsuńHomesick feels awful, doesn't it? You have Sam with you anyway, so I guess it'll pass soon! Tell him to feel better! :)
Oh, and stop complaining about the wind! If you were in Poland, you'd be waiting for snow right now! Instead, you have summer ahead of you! I'm so jealous! :D
Btw, your letter arrived! I'm coming home next weekend and I'm really looking forward to reading it! :)
