Hello,
Today was a lovely Saturday, with absolutely gorgeous weather! Normally I am layered in scarves, hats, and jackets...but today I only wore one jacket, and even had to take it off for most of the day. It was wonderful!
It is Saturday night here, and it has been a long day. I had some very New Zealand experiences today.
First of all, I have a list of food. I had my first New Zealand kiwi fruit...which was juicy & delicious! For lunch Sacha made a Maori soup. The Maori are the native people, and they have very specific food, traditions, and many of the crazy New Zealand names come from the Maori. Lastly, for dinner Sacha made mussels...which is also a common NZ dish. So, today was the day of common/famous NZ food.
Before all of the cooking happened, Sacha dropped me off at the base of a mountain while she took Elinor to gym class. I hiked Mount Victoria Matairangi. Once you get to the top there is a panoramic of Wellington which was gorgeous. I will post pictures! It was fairly simple to get there, and not a dangerous hike. After a couple hours they picked me up, and we cam home for lunch.
In the afternoon we went to the Botanical Gardens, which I already explored while lost a few days ago. Then we went to Te Papa, which is a really famous museum in Wellington focused on wild life, traditions, and the Maori people. We even got to see some Maori dancing.
Now I am tired, and will go to bed soon. Night :)
