HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BROTHER!!!
So the first week here was good and bad.
The good: I met up with long time buddy (of 12 years?!!!) Rhodri and tasted my first flat white on the other side of the planet to where I call home. Verdict: It tasted the same. :D
We enjoyed this lovely coffee at Memphis Belle, one of the best coffee shops here.
My first flat white here!
The weather was lovely and a little hot but there was a nice breeze, the kind of summer weather I like. Not humid at all! :) After a catch up and a coffee I took a walk around the waterfront for the first time, past the Te Pa Pa Museum and all the way to Mount Victoria and the good old supermarket (New World, how familiar I became with this place).
Kids jumping into the waters.
The bad: The rest of the week involved me getting severe hay fever and pretty much being out of action for a couple of days till I self diagnosed this and got myself some (expensive) antihistamines! Lesson of the day was don't get sick in NZ or it will cost you!! Oh and that little walk around the waterfront got my left shoulder a little bit burned. Was very surprised as the sun really didn't feel that strong! Then I remember the words of warning both Ryan and Jonna told me when I got here... You get burned a lot quicker here to London as thinner ozone!! Doh. I guess I thought I would escape that being Asian but no, it got me too. Sun cream is now on the shopping list.
