Today is Monday night, and another week has begun. Elinor went to Kindy this morning, her mom went to work, and I went into Wellington.
I somehow managed to find the immigration building again on my own, and I am now legally in New Zealand for 12 months with a working holiday visa! Yay! Somehow they were super nice, and decided to do it for me right there on the spot. Now there are no worries about that.
Then I went to the i-site, and found out some more info. Plans may or may not change in the coming months. After that I strolled through Wellington for quite a while, meeting people here and there, and stopping at another crepe stand.
I finally came across the famous Wellington Bucket Fountain, which is known and loved for it's dysfunctional nature. At some point they wanted to tear it down, and the people of Wellington went nuts...and so today it still stands.
After a while I was back in Seatoun where I met Elinor. Later at night we went out to her Uncle Simon's restaurant where he is a chef. It is a Mexican restaurant, and apparently Mexican is very new to NZ.
We got home after her bedtime. She was exhausted, and threw quite the tantrum about going to bed. But I simply took a shower, and am now going to bed myself.
The weather has gotten crazy. Very cold! And I can even hear the waves smashing in the distance.
I will post the pictures of the fountain also...
