Wellington

While I was staying in the Wellington area I took the liberty to explore the city on two occasions. The first time I went in was on a Friday night to see what it was like downtown on the Friday before Halloween. Apparently nothing special but it was still a good time. Courtney Place is the main bar street and was filled with folks. I went to a bar and a restaurant and met a few people, two of whom had recently got an apartment together downtown and were enjoying the city. I had fun but had to leave early to catch take the last train back to Pauatahanui.

The next time I went to Wellington I had the whole day to walk around and spent about five hours in Tepapa, the national museum of New Zealand. The water front district was also very cool and the whole city has a great feel about it. Wellington is a city I could go back to, especially since the premier of the Hobbit movie is set to take place downtown next spring.
