Wellington was Great! We went to Lyall beach where the sky was bright blue and the sun was shining brightly. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day. Ten incredible hours of surfing- followed by a night out on the town.
Though surfing was Saturday, Sunday was a more mellow day. One of us was Sick, the other was Actually Sick, and the other was too exhausted to care.
I have to say Wellington was my first REAL culture shock! There are so many FRICKIN people! Where do they all come from? After being absolutely exhausted then submerged into this foreign city. A city in itself is rather foreign to me, let alone the night life of foreigners with cool accents (which I can't really understand). The levels of energy and strength of emotions is powerful and amazing. There were thousands of young people flooding the streets in beautiful dresses and tuxes off to dance and drink the night away to trance of the city rhythm.
For those of you who have never experienced this- I could not possible describe it in words. You must see it for yourself. For those of you who live in a city, it has probably become so familiar to you that you would probably not recognize the beauty and enchantment of it all. I could only recommend traveling to a small town in the middle of nowhere, to embrace quiet living, space, and clarity of mind.
