LEAVING WELLINGTON


We’ve left Wellington and are now traveling the South Island before coming home…to winter… on the shortest day of the year… what we’re we thinking????

It’s been very tough leaving this city. Wellington has to be one of the most livable cities on the planet: good transit; big enough city to find absolutely anything you’re looking for - from shops to music/theatre/art to restaurants; yet small enough to walk end to end with no trouble; incredible public spaces and waterfront; and stunning views. Many say it’s like a mini-San Francisco, yet we say San Fran is like an oversized Wellington!

Lastly and most importantly are all the friends we made. We will miss you all! What a great bunch of people. The kiwi reputation of being incredibly friendly and hospitable people exists for good reason. And of course, thank you to Rotary International for making this all possible.
