Just a quick one to sum up my 5 months in Wellington! Apart from the cold, wet and windy weather it has been fun, spent the first month in a freezing hostel with mad people resting my bust up knee! Then rented a room - my own space, yay! and met some wiicked people who have become great mates! Where I live is just at the bottom of the botanical gardens - so a pretty good back yard really! Have been working at ANZ National bank in the payroll department, again another great group of people who I'm gonna miss heaps! Have learnt loads there, so have become useful - so they may miss me too! I also briefly visited a friend, Leasha, up in Stratford, Taranaki. Before the rain set in for the entire weekend I did get to see the impresssive Mt Taranaki! Fireworks here in Wellington were awesome, possibly the best I've seen! Though it was a little scary as everyone over here goes a bit mad, gets drunk and lets off firworks in the streets, right in front of you and just generally getting a bit riot like!!

 

Monday 20th - I fly off to Christchurch for some fun in the south!!
