The last melon...

 I am beginning to wonder if anyone will ever fully appreciate my packing skills...  After 3 hours and 4 bags I managed to pack up an entire 6 months of my life, cleaning out all the drawers, cubbies, and crannies.  It is starting to actually look sad and lonely in here, but it feels good to have everything organized and put away.  So this will be my last post from New Zealand, seeing as the cab is picking us up tomorrow at 6am (hopefully, I've been on hold for awhile now).  You will hopefully hear from me (and seester) in Fiji, but I plan on spending most of my time in the sunshine and not on the computer.

Perhaps it is a good time for some highlights from the past week of enjoying Wellington with Al and getting through the things I put off until the last minute.






We went and did the Parliment tour, and buzzed around the beehive.

We went up to the top of the cable car and went to the observatory and learned about space.

We climbed the trippy tree at dusk. We went to the water front and ate half priced sushi.

And of course we almost froze to death going to visit the Weta Caves to see all the movie stuff from Lord of the Rings, Narnia, and Avatar.

At least today, when I have to spend time inside packing up my whole New Zealand life, it is cold and windy out there in Wellington.  Makes me even more excited for Fiji though, and when I'm back in two weeks none of you better have forgotten about me.
