The Kiwi summer is finally coming to an end, and there's no more Six Nations rugby to watch in the Welsh pub - so its time for us to move on from Wellington and cross the Cook Straits to the South Island. We've really enjoyed living here - even just for five weeks of not feeling like tourists constantly in transit.
In that time we've more than acclimatised to the city's random weather (glorious sun, torrential showers, gale force wind - all in a morning), have found our favourite food store (Moore & Wilson's), a manageable run (Evans' Bay and back) and have even started dropping Kiwi slang like "aye?", "bro", and "sweeeet as.." into the conversation.
But what's made Wellington really special is having friends and family here. We're grateful to them all for making us feel at home (especially James and Amy who probably never reckoned they'd have us camped out in their house for a week...) - and will try our best to stay in touch cuz, aye? Sweet as...

Fairplay, we've picked up a few lush words of our own ;-) Hope the ginger balm did the trick and it was all smooth sailing xx
Ooh, also meant to say a huge thank you for the mixed cd's, we love them! I don't think I've had a mixed cd made for me since the days of the old mixed tape.
Travel safe xx
