All's well in Wellington

Not a lot to report on regarding today's travels... Mainly because traveling is about all we did. After a 3.5 hour drive from the Bay of Islands, we hopped an hour long flight to Wellington. When we got into our hotel it was already late afternoon, and dinner snuck up on us pretty quickly.

We decided to make the trek over to Cuba street, famous for it's bustling bohemian atmosphere. We snapped a quick picture at this fountain, which was either very poorly designed, or intended to double as a street-washer.





For dinner we caught the early-bird special at a French bistro called Le Metropolitain. I had the venison on glazed pears (yum!) and Ming had the fish of the day. This blurry iPhone photo will have to serve as proof.



The walk back was colder and felt longer than the walk out, and Ming wimped out on watching the South Africa vs. Namibia game at a local bar. Instead we watched Namibia flounder helplessly from the comfort of our hotel room... preparing us for the trouncing that the US will surely experience tomorrow.
