The best thing in Wellington...


My name is Lacklan. I am 5 y.o. from Adelaide, Australia. So far the best thing in Wellington was the dangerous goods exhibit at Te Papa and the chocolate milkshake at Fidels on Cuba St. I also liked the bucket fountain on Cuba Street.

Almost crushed on Cuba Street


Walking to work one early morning. 
My headphones on as others were snoring. 
I reach Cuba Street with a pep in my step. 
Until I Feel a big shudder just off to my left! 
I thought was this a quake? 
Most definitely not. 
Was almost crushed by a giant rock!

True story. Part of a building on Cuba fell nearly landing on me & a female. Never heard anything in the news after.

3 Marshmellows!


We are from Germany and came to taste different kinds of coffee shops. Personally, we strongly believe that the best coffee shop in town is at Cuba Street. Only because you get 3 marshmellows. It is the first coffee shop we've ever found  where you get so many of them. Fantastic. Go and try.

Only in Wellington


On a windy day in Wellington, we ventured out to the thriving shops of Cuba St, and came upon a shop called Recycled Boutique. Inside the lovely shop, as well as finding some great clothing, I heard a woman say to another employee 'could you help me? I've got to fit a rather large male into a tiny dress! Oh wellington...love you Wellington!

Buckets in common


I come from Liverpool in the UK and am staying in Wellington for a while. I noticed your bucket fountain in Cuba Street. We have one in Liverpool made of metal. I used to watch it as a child. It is still there but not in use. It surprised me to see something so unique halfway across the world; a feeling of home across the miles.
