A view of harbourYay! I just got back from my week long adventure in Wellington. It was a really amazing trip, and I have to say that travelling alone is actually kinda really fun! I ended up meeting tons of really cool people who are doing working vacations in New Zealand and several people who seem to live the truly nomadic lifestyle.
I stayed at a hostel in downtown Wellington called Nomads in an 8 bed dorm. It was really clean (except for my duvet, which smelled like a homeless person) and the people there were awesome (except for the jerk who stole my guide book). But hey, it only cost $127 for seven nights. Over the course of my time there, I got to:
- chill out in the Botanic Gardens on a gorgeous day
- tramp around a gorgeous wildlife sanctuary
- kayak for several hours in the gorgeous bays
- explore all of the old buildings of the city
- hang out in the friggin sweet public library
- check out this amazing vegan cafe ... daily
- and many other things I cant think of right now!
As per usual, check out the sweet pics below! There are probably quite a few, so I will try to edit and keep this entry to a moderate length!

A view from the top of the city (I took an old school trolley to get up there!)

Ahh! Flying metal fern ball of death!

In the botanic gardens; birds of paradise grow here lots of the parks!
At Karori Wildlife sanctuary, they have literally fenced off a huge piece of land so no predators can get in.

Pedal-strewn path... paradise, no?*Pardon the underlining and random hyperlinks... Im having troubles formatting this entry for some reason*
