Wellington, New Zealand's Capital of Cool (First Day)

Flashback, flashback, flashback!!!!!

This is a draft sits on my dashboard for ages. my bad!

Wellington (play /ˈwɛlɪŋtən/) is the capital city and third most populous urban area of New Zealand. The urban area is situated on the southwestern tip of the country's North Island, and lies between Cook Strait and the Rimutaka Range. It is home to 389,700 residents, with an additional 3,700 residents living in the surrounding rural areas. WIKI

We had 3 days vacation to Wellington know as the "Coolest Little Capital" and our first flight experience together. Our first time in Welli as well. An hour passed we arrived at Welli Airport and they said it's a "Windy Welli" but the we had a clear bright sky and not so-windy Welli welcome us.

View from the top. I think that is Mt. Ruapehu.



The cutest couple ever, Mc and Tin2x, fetch us at the airport and them, as our tourist guide of the day. We head next to a somewhat "dimsum-like" restaurant and feed our starvin' stomach.

After, a satisfying no-rice 'as Pinoy are rice-eater' lunch. We then, head to the birthplace of LOTR 'Lord of the Rings' character. We saw 'Gollum' the fictional character in the fantasy novel "The Hobbit" and became one of the most important  supporting character in its sequel, The Lord of the Rings.

As the day start to end, we head to the city, saw different masterpiece that appears from nowhere and stroll our way to the "Beehive", one of NZ's Parliament Building. What we did mostly is took photos of ourselves.










We end our lovely day at Welli's Railway Station. :)
