I Gots to Go Sea Kayaking

On my way to work Wellington Harbour was in rare fine form, there was no wind and the harbour was glassy. Amazing. All day I thought it would be a great idea to go sea kayaking, come 5:30 there was no wind... but is was flippin choppy! I went out anyway, with a group that goes every thursday evenings. It was a great view of Wellington city and fun at the same time.

Windy Wellington

The windy city it is...

Men! Abstain from Sex or Suffer Painful Consequences!

Hey All, just a cheekly little photo I spotted on my little walk back from Lyall Bay

Finally Some Photo's

So, the first photo is of the plane leaving Aussieland - Gippsland Lakes

The second is a little walk I did from Mount Victoria (Wellington's version of Mt Dandenong) to Oriental Bay (Wellington's Version of St Kilda). So we have Wellington City in the Background - I'm not trying to poo, it is bloody windy and that is what I look like trying to take a photo of myself and wind almost pushing me over!

The last picture is of the shop after three long days setting up.

Words Of Wisdom From A Solo Traveller

Travelling by yourself has many benefits:

1. When eating really yummy potatoe wedges, you can double dip the really yummy herb sour cream.

2. When you are eating chips you can eat ALL the really crunchy ones

3. You can go where you want, when you want - no questions asked

4. You are more open to meeting new and really cool people - like the chinese guy who could barely speak any english who sits and fishes off the bridge using his bamboo rod.

5. You realise it is okay to be by yourself, go out to dinner with yourself, listen to live jazz music by yourself, have a beer tasting plate ALL to yourself... in fact it is all very self induldgent!

Hi All! I am in windy Wellington! The plane into Wellington was shaking and skating from the windy conditions. The look on my face must of said it all as the person next to me stated 'this is pretty normal'.

Wellingtonites might not agree, but, Wellington is like a very mini Melbourne with less people and great mountains surrounding it. Lots of great places to eat and drink. There was almost silence as I sat outside eating my lunch in the CBD.

I've been working 12 hour days to get the store looking tip top for our opening, two days away. I am very much looking forward to a day off to explore this beautiful city. Once I find a place to live, which hopefully has internet, I will upload some photos... yay!
