Lambton Harbour, Wellington |
After saying goodbye to my mom and dad at the train station in Avignon nearly nine months ago, we were finally reunited two days ago in Wellington, New Zealand! Since then we’ve been enjoying our cute apartment on Mt. Victoria, with Johnny and I especially loving the opportunity to make some home-cooked dinners, and exploring our first New Zealand destination, with the very cool and interactive Te Papa Museum and the Wellington Cable Car being the top attractions. We’ve also been feasting on long delicious lunches and then working them off on treks up to view points of the city and the uphill climb to our apartment.
Tomorrow we’ll bid the North Island ado as we make our way to the South Island via a three-hour ferry ride. First stop: Marlborough wine country!
