A Wellington Weekend

   In comparison to how awesome Friday night was, the weekend was pretty tame. It was still a lot of fun though! Saturday, there was a Barista Championship right in Wellington. The top baristas of the area competed in coffee and espresso making. The winner will go to Australia to compete. I had no idea coffee was such a big deal!

The enthused crowd watching coffee being made!

New Zealand's silver fern in my coffee.

   Saturday night was very chill. Hallie, Paul, and I went out for a drink at a bar called the General Practitioners. There was a lot of old medical memorabilia, and it was really cool! Gotta love flatmate bonding.
   On Sunday, I walked around all day barefoot. Although Wellington is a city, it's really clean, and no one cares if you wear shoes or not. I loved it! Hallie and I went to a farmer's market. We bought a lot of cheap veggies and got some henna done before heading over to the beach for the rest of the day. I got a sunburn :( It's so easy to get burnt here! The ozone is not as good, so UV rays are really strong. Sun screen is a life saver.

   Overall, it was a wonderful weekend - very low key. I'm liking this place more and more!
