Not all who wander want to be found 🍂

All Blacks’ World Cup Victory Parade; Dwellin’ in Wellington 🇳🇿

Time to put this space back into action after busy being unproductive the past year.

So! Continuing the post of my time in Wellington, New Zealand – 1 November 2015 to 7 November 2015.

In my previous post, we were travelling from Palmerston North back to our last destination – Wellington.

2 November 2015, Monday

After parting ways, I made my way to the city center area where I was to stay at three more different places. All I did for the next few days was logically plan when I should return home (the funds were running really low), rest from all that travelling and just enjoy whatever time I had left in New Zealand.

Being on a tight budget, these are the things I did throughout the course of my time:

  • Extremely frequent visits to Coles to grocery shop and be lost in the world of food
  • Visit Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa (free entry!)
  • Take a one-way trip up the Wellington Cable Car and walk back down through the Botanic Garden (NZD$4 for a one-way, NZD$3.50 if you use the Snapper card which I did)
  • Catch the All Blacks’ World Cup Victory Parade!!!

Taking the time to just unwind and pen down the thoughts.

Didn’t eat out much so cheap takeaways were often in Coles/ Countdown.

Met a new friend at the new Bed & Breakfast I stayed at and went together to catch the champions!

6 November 2015, Friday

Second last day in town which meant it was time for a grocery run to lug back all the chocolates I can’t get in Singapore.

I absolutely love mint so this is the perfect pairing!!! I finished a block in one go.

Marmite… Bought one for the dad cause he loves marmite and it turned out Singapore has them.
