on to Wellington

Thank goodness for cheap fares.. Last Thursday I flew to Wellington. (my first 'local' flight) and got to my friends place there..Friday I worked in the local office which was great, had after work drinks then went out on the town with my friends. Happily another friend was in town from Christchurch seeing his Wellington based other half so we were all able to meet and go out. After a slow wake up I had coffee and a good lunch with one of my Wellington friends, having a try of Schoc Chocolate

you gotta try it! Amazing creativity

After some nice Malaysian for lunch, we continued our walk until we parted ways and I went on to dinner at my hosts place. That night we walked to a great vantage point over Wellington harbour.. The full moon was lighting up the bay and we saw a massive fireworks display Saturday night, and went out again. Sunday I slept in, met my friend up from Christchurch for brunch and we walked around talking, looking at the harbour and went back to Schoc for trying more goodness and I had a chilli hot chocolate. Great! It was good to not have to rush back to Melbourne and have some leisurely time and socialise instead of feeling like exchanges between friends were pressure cooked because of time constraints.. I am lucky to have good friends here and in Australia :) unconditional happy is a great place to get to .. You gotta value those moments..

that afternoon continued picking up my friends new other half and after a coffee and snack they dropped me off to the air port..

despite the flight only taking an hour and two and a half hours from the air port to home (irony) I still felt rested at least in spirit :)
