I must confess that I really like Wellington, but I must confess too, I dint really expecting this trip....
well, is just for grabbing the GPS from Chyi Mei, or else I wont go to Welly.
The worst thing was I already wasted 2 bus tickets, so nearly 40 bucks lost. Well, long story, just felt like really sick of sorting those tickets thing.
Eventually I followed Jessie's car down to Welly instead of taking the earliest bus on Sunday morning, I kinda like joined the begining of Jessie's family trip at Wellington.
Weather of Wellington on Saturday was really good, and I was shocked to know that Jess's mum actually saw the sea for her first time in her life!
Wow, i felt myself was so lucky and grateful. =)
Christmas atmosphere also hitting Welly, we accidentally passed by this show room which different special Xmas trees were exhibited.
coffee xmas tree?
Xmas tree on the beach? Definitely suited and matched Summer Christmas in NZ!
I also wrote down a wish on one of the xmas wishing tree by donating a gold coin.
Other than that, I followed wherever Jess gone, I finally gone to the Parliament tour.
Well, no photo was taken, except for the look of the parliament. The tour was very detailed, and knowledgable, glad to know many NZ history and politics development which i just discovered from this trip.
Besides, also gone to Rose garden for the first time, wow even though I ald been to Welly so many times, I still discover new thing everytime. =)
The roses bloomed very well....
Well not much food to share this time except for this 'simple, not attrative' dessert at Simply Paris, but dont be blinded by it's apperance, it was very good!!
Forgot what it called tho, but really thumbs up!
Then of cause I dint forget the purpose to come down Welly, I actually meeting Chyi Mei on the second day (Sunday), slept with Jess in Mercure on Thordon, well, actually room was just alright, seriously doubted the standard as for 'Mercure'...==
And we actually got very heavy rain on Sat night, but I had a very deep and good sleep~
I met chyi mei for a brunch this time at Drexels, which is famous with their waffles, pancakes and french toast.
I ordered both, apricrot on french toast, and simple waffle, and they are so filling!! Taste was alright, still missing the soft pancake which I tried at Pancake on the rocks, Sydney.
And really thank you to Chyi Mei, always bringing me to taste so many great food, and also lend me her GPS for my family trip.
She also brought me to Moore Wilson, and again although i gone there before, still discovered some new thing this time!
Desserts sold there are so attractive, but I was too full to have a sweet tooth.
also the toy department at Moore Wilson, I saw this awesome Harry Potter Lego statue!
and I dunno the lego nowadays had bcome so advanced and high tech!
no wonder now everyone in Malaysia are so excited about legoland!
even cretionary!! Just mocking the pictionary...==
Oh well, I was nt that super fan of lego, i am more a LOTR fan!!
Lastly I want to share some photos about the <the Hobbit>! The hobbit fever was hitting Wellington this December too!!
As since the world premier of <the hobbit> last week held at the Embassy theater last week, Hobbits were still all around Wellington!!
Post office! Yes apparently the Hobbit collection of stamps had been released, and I also planning to buy it!
Of cause I dint miss out the huge Gandalf right outside the Hobbiton at the Embassy theater, it was placed for the premier, and hope it stays longer!
forgot what's this, but is somehow describing Wellington in the middle of the earth!
And luckily I gone to Te Papa this trip as well, the trolls from the hobbit movie also 'attacking' Te Papa museum!!
even Starbucks is on the trend! What a creative and very xmas feel idea!
