Making Cashew Nut Butter

I came to Wellington from Kerikeri. I am here because in 2013 I participated in a competition. And have won a national award. It's funny how [far] something as small as making cashew nut butter has gotten me. Nikki

Dancing in the Rain

I'm from Canada and have spent the last 3 days exploring Wellington, and I've decided I may just live here forever. Wellington is one of a kind. I love the vibes of this city and the people and the cafes and the streets. I will forever remember my first night in Wellington dancing down the streets in the rain, knowing I'd finally found a city I hope to one day call home.

Broken Cable Car!

Cable Car was broken! Despite this unexpected situation the whole trip was a pleasant one. 12-hour journey by train offered a different way to see New Zealand. Green land, green land, and more green land! I <3 how people dress in Wellington!

End of the Earth

We moved here from Perth in Scotland 3 years ago for work. We love how easy Wellington is to get around (even traffic is great compared to Perth) and how different the various parts of the city can be (hilly to rugged coast in 20 mins). Love standing watching the seals at Red Rocks feeling like you are at the end of the Earth, till a plane flies into land and you remember the CBD and parliament are only about 10 mins away as the crow flies.

Country Kid

 

I am from Murchison. I am over here on a school trip with my class and I don't like Wellington. It's too big, I like the country better :) I am 14 and turning 15 very soon.

Windy, Smelly, and Yummy

Wellington is windy! It's yummy. It smells like the sea. That's if you are near the sea. I like the shops!

The Secret Museum

I have a long history with Wellington and indeed the City and Sea Museum. I work as a nanny and every school holidays I'll take them to the 'secret museum'. I never get over the look on their faces when the taniwha's eye appears on the roof of that second floor exhibition.

Love Being a Wellington Family!

We are in Wellington for 2 years. We are visiting from the UK. We think it is a fabulous city. It is well cared for and seems to care for it's residents. The libraries, swimming pools, play areas, reserves, beaches and of course museums are fantastic resources. We have loved being a Wellington family. Thanks for having us!

First of the Season

Our ship made its way to Wellington this morning. We are the first ship of the season. Thanks for letting us in your dock, Windy, Wet, Wellington!!

Together After 11 Months

My husband got a job in Wellington a couple of years ago and he had to go ahead of the family - so we were apart for 11 months except for 1 week (valentine's week 2012) when I came to see him and he took me to Wellington Zoo as a Valentine's present, to have a close encounter with a cheetah. We are all here now (+ our 5 children) and I work at the zoo as a volunteer. I love it!
