Wellington



The ferry dropped us off in Wellington and we got to experience our first city in 3 months! "Welly"is the capital city of New Zealand. Maybe it is because we are a little homesick, but the large city situated on a bay and surrounded with hills reminded us just a little of San Francisco….The nostalgia increased because we spent most of our one and a half days there walking, shopping, and eating on Cuba Street. With its multicultural restaurants and tons of funky thrift shops Cuba Street seemed like a slightly cleaner version of Telegraph Ave. While Wellington was nice, it was incredibly windy, cold, and rainy almost the entire time we were there. Ace also got a flat tire, which left us frantically trying to find a Firestone. The bad weather and Ace’s decreasing health was not the start to the North Island we wanted....
Adios South Island

Hello Wellington and the North

Lots of funky buildings and bridges....
