Wellington

Well, this is going to be pretty short, but I figured I'd save myself the trouble of having to include this in the next post, which will probably be much longer.

So, Wellington is quite awesome.  It's right by the ocean, the night life is pretty stellar, the shopping isn't bad, and there's heaps of outdoorsy stuff to do.

I finally saw a kiwi bird!  It was at the zoo, but still.  I have to say those are the funniest animals I've ever seen- they were just running around like chubby idiots.  Don't get me wrong, I love 'em, and they just might be my new favourite animal.  Unfortunately, I didn't take any pictures because it was dark and I wasn't sure what the policy on flash photography was.  Here's one I got from the internet, and you can't even try to tell me you that you wouldn't laugh if you saw one of these guys running around.


We went bowling and it was "Texas Thursday", so that was fun, but it didn't really have anything to do with Texas except that there was a Texas hold 'em tournament or something.  Actually, they did have the Mavs/Rockets game on, but I have a feeling that was just a coincidence.  

Apparently calling children "cheeky buggers" is the equivalent of calling them little shits.  Haha, oops.  It sounds like such a cute term of endearment...

Well, I meet up with the parents tomorrow, so that'll be exciting!  Hopefully we do some killer stuff in Queenstown and where ever else we end up.

Here's a link to an album I made on Facebook:  
The pictures aren't all that awesome, but if you're bored...  It includes stuff from the Botanical Gardens, the zoo, and Te Papa museum, along with some other random pics.
