Epic Fail - 1st Geocaching attempt

Posing: Me being optimistic for the Geocach hunt.



Pretty views of Wellington from the trail.



Big trees and set timers make good pictures.



Tall trees.



How did I ever walk past the Hobbit Hideaway path???



The Geocach is close. Somewhere on this path.



Lego Man is eager to find a new home.



So I searched high and low and got all muddy and dirty and was unsuccessful in my search. Due to my lack of network connection and my blindness to find the hobbit tree it was an epic fail for my first independent geocaching adventure. What I thought was the geocach was poisonous.



Lego Man did react well to the news.



Pretty lookout.





So as you can see I was very disappointed that my geocach adventure was unrewarding. I went home and signed in and got the helpful hints so that when I attempt this again I won't be going home empty handed... oh actually that's what I want. I want Lego Man to find his new home the hobbits.

Weta Caves

Cave Troll!











Samurai Swords from "The Last Samurai"











I think he has to sneeze



"my precious"





If they weren't so expensive these adorable little plush toys would of been mine. SO cute!



















There wasn't any tour around the production studio, due to confidentiality rules. The caves had a mini theater that showcased the behind scenes of all the different departments at Weta Productions. It was cool, but I wish Weta just had a big museum of all the original pieces that they made from all their projects. Oh well.

Surf Board in my Room

The only thing Canadian staying in my room after I leave.

Roller Derby Night

Brutal Pageant

vs.

Smash Malice













Brutal Pageant kicked ass and won 136-56



Victory lap



After the derby we went to the basement, which is the bar at Base Hostel. Here after several drinks, Sebastian and I discovered that we had the same size feet...so obviously we had to switch shoes.



Woohoo dancing.



A good night with the guys :)
