Currently in the process of planning our trip to the South Island for the 1st week in September with Lexi, Lisa and Juliette (pictured to the left along with Matilde). We had a meal together last night to discuss activities such as kayaking, sky diving, tramping and of course much eating :)
I've had a pretty cultural week; went to a VIX film event last Wednesday which had us all thinking about what we can gain from the different cultures here through watching 3 short films. Then on Saturday, as part of Wellington's film festival, Ricarda, Matilde, Max and I went to see 'La Grande Bellezza' (The Great Beauty); a fantastic film which despite it's lack of plot managed to keep me captivated through its use of beautiful shots and brilliant acting which transported me back in time.
Discovered a few more of Wellington's gems, such as 'The Library', a cocktail/ dessert bar which is set up just like an old fashioned library with big squishy arm chairs and book covered walls, it also does the most scrumptious 2 for 1 cocktails; looking forward to 2 for 1 desserts on a Tuesday!
So Wellington is still exceeding my expectations; if the South Island does the same I'm in for a treat!
