Food!

NZ has a great coffee culture. Wellington has excellent foods from around the planet like any decent mid-sized city I guess.

That was a cool place. Major herb garden out back, juggling stuff everywhere. He had had a run of German tourists so was glad to speak English to someone.

Thanks brother. It was too much to process all at once. I still have to return for a LOTR tour and the mountain biking.

Nice!

I enjoyed the food in NZ, and found that there was quite a variety.
Did you see any deer farms, surrounded by super tall fences?

Yeah, there was one operation that was really impressive. They had red deer, cattle, and sheep grazing on rotation the grass looked so lush. I'm not sure I was able to get that in a frame... but I'll look.

Weta Workshop

I saw a number of Weta Workshop items around Wellington. Lil' Griff took a tour there during the semester. Smaug and the eagle(s) are in the airport. The soldiers are from a major WWI installation at Te Papa. They take their First World War seriously in NZ. There are monuments to the fallen everywhere you look. http://wetaworkshop.com/projects/ The scale of their work is amazing. Look at the website for a better idea of size.

Really great. What a great thing for you to get to have done with your daughter.

(I didn't note the juggler's rest name at first, either and I thought it was really nice that the place you were staying provided bowling pins. )
