Auckland to Wellington

8:30am August 7th, I leave from Auckland and make my way down to Wellington, the capital of New Zealand. The bus ride cost me $35 and took 11 hours in total. The landscape was beautiful and when we got closer to Wellington I was finally able to see some L.O.T.R looking mountains...oh and tons of sheep.
When I was at the Auckland Museum, which is much more spectacular then my pictures could ever reveal, I talked to a man who referred to Wellington as "Windy Wellington." I didn't understand what he ment until I arrived in Wellington. The minute I got off the bus after 8pm I felt a cold breeze blow right through my clothes and made my bones shiver. Becasue Wellington is a Harbour city it makes sense that it is super windy, recieving the distant winds from the Pacific Ocean. The good thing about "Windy Wellington" is that you never have to worry about having perfect hair. The style trend here is always dishevelled chic.
So where the bus dropped me off was luckily only a block away from my new temporary home, Base Hostel in Wellington. Again Base Hostels are pretty rad. They have a bar in the basement and tons of helpful people working at the front desk, as well as alot of the people who work there live there. You can actually work for your accomodation.
I arrived into a empty six bed room. The room was cold and I could hear the wind blowing furociously outside my window. After such a long bus ride and only few stops to eat I decided to explore the main street.
The sky was dark but the streets were bright and loud. There were people everywhere, chillin on patios, walking the streets, stumbling around, and just having a good Windy Wellington night. Nothing was open, except takeaway restaurants. Due to the travelling and change of everything, my stomach was not so keen on deep-fried anything. NZ has alot of healthy choices you just have to look through all the rubbish. To my luck 10 minutes before closing I found "kapai" which is an organic cafe. So I grabbed a fruit smoothie and made my way back to my room. When I got back to the Hostel I grabbed an internet card. So back to my room, finished my smoothie, and started to hunt for apartments. I ended up falling asleep but only two hours later did I wake up shivering and curled up in a ball. It was f%#&*! cold. I stole the blankets off the other beds and wrapped myself up and went back to sleep.
