Wellington!




We’re very happy to be back on the north island – closer to home and our cats. We stopped off for a night in swanky Wellington where we had some drinks with our friends Brian and Melanie, who moved here from Philly about 18 months ago. It was awesome to talk to some fellow expats. We enjoyed some fries and more monstrous glasses of Hoegaarden at this kick-ass Belgian place Melanie picked out (we originally suggested this place near our hotel stupidly named ‘The General Practitioner’ but we were wisely vetoed).

We totally lucked out on dinner – we happened to wander into a place called Chow that served amazing Asian food and huge bottles of Sapporo (Iain was thrilled). Turns out it was 2-for-1 night! Woo-hoo! Yea Wellington! Of course, we ended up ordering more food than we needed, thereby negating the potential savings.
