Weekend that Was: Wellington Sunshine Rules

So like I new it was going to be a great Wellington Saturday when I shaved with a new Primal Earth shaving gel and the razor blade slid across my cheek like it was on a mission from god.

Jaybee's Big Sister and other half came from Jaffa Land to visit. We started the day with eggs bene at Parade Cafe. They were eggcellent! Ha Ha.

With Wellington turning on a cracker amount of sunshne we headed off to the Maritime Museum. Along the way someone in our party molested this poor fellow out side Te Papa...



At the Maritime Museum we learnt all kinds of interesting things about the old days. There were strikes, smelly dogs, lots of boats and it's hard to believe I know, but back in the day men were sexist!

A quick stop at the New Zealand Fine Arts Academy was made where Jeane interviewed an artist who liked to put Takehe shit in her paintings.

Then it was up the Cable Car to check out the view of Wellington CBS and Harbour from the Botanical Gardens.



Then our entourage headed off for a beer at the Four Kings bar. Had a Steinlager from the tap, it tasted pretty marginal. Maybe the good bar keep got confused and gave me a Steinlager Pure

Down to the business end of the day we went to the Lanes for a bit of indoor bowling. What the fuck this has to do with Vietnam or the Big Leboskwi I really can;t tell you but everyone got at least one strike so good times.

Evening was spent at the Tug Boat restaurant where the meals were large and the service pretty decent.

Sunday was pretty good too - lunch again at Parade Cafe because it was so good on Sat. On the walk around the Parade I found 10 bucks on the shore line. Score! Get to Waitangi Park and I find 20 more! Double Score! Economic Financial Crisis be damned so I bought myself a Lotto Power Ball Ticket and Jay Bee a Phantom of the Opera CD for 10 bucks at some discount store near Manners St.

Evening rounded off with BBQ with Te Neighbours and that couple from Adelaide.
