It's been nearly eight weeks since we arrived in Wellington. Wellington a very multicultural city, and a fun fact if you didn't know already, it is the world's windiest city! I don't doubt it - it can be very fierce! Everywhere we go, the people that we meet tell us this has been the worst … Continue reading A Newcomer’s Observations
