just like the title, spring is in the air!!! I went to welly today with Nicole for the first time, and it was definitely a great trip!

Good drive, good conversation, good view, just shitty weather, anyway, we arrived safely, and took the cable car up to botanical garden for the spring festival!!!

And we bought the famous gelato sold at the cable car site, and enjoyed in the cable car!

and the sakuras here bloomed!!! But too bad, welly botanical garden seems like only had one sakura tree, and was raining...darn! So, not a good idea to stay in the rain, we decided to leave, and lunch time on!!

And I finally went into the sushi train place!! Although it was really pricy, but the food made by truely Japanese always worthy!!

Is wellington Batucada!! which is is a Brazilian word used to describe the syncopated, African-influenced samba music played by a large percussion group (bateria) as part of a street parade or carnival.
I think it was for the rugby world cup, and they dint stop even in the rain!! It was awesome, nicole actually filmed abit, but I had no idea how to upload it on here, well probably will find the link from Nicole's facebook....and reattached.

And guest what, while walking along cuba st, I found this cool french cafe!! Simply Paris!! http://www.simplyparis.co.nz/

Finally found a great place selling French style dessert, and I just could not stop persuade myself from getting all of them, oh well I spent nearly 25 dollars for these!! But is worth!! I would like to buy more other types of dessert!! Patisserie, always the best!!!
