Winding Down

Our Wellington trip is winding down, today was our last full day and it was one of the only cloudy and miserable days of our trip. The weather influenced our mood as we felt blah and tired all day, we woke up a little later and only decided what to do around noon.

We went back to the Embassy to catch a movie 'March of the Penguins', which was great. I wanted a tea so I went to the food area, they present me with a big teapot, teacup, all in fine china...this place is classy! It was so odd to carry that whole thing into the cinema. The movie was very charming and interesting, it made me a little more sad for that dead penguin we saw at Ta Taka earlier in the week...poor thing.

We then went back to the hotel and I napped again...only to get up in time for dinner..with everything closed for Easter Sunday we had to choose between Thai food....I got sick of that so we opted for McDonalds. Now we're back here watching TV..it's time to go home I think..we're both home sick :)

So here are the top 10 things we noticed that are really different from home:

10. Elevators are called lifts
9. Bathrooms are called toilets
8. No overpasses, only roundabouts
7. Every restaurant supplies you with a wine bottle full of water
6. Take-Out is known as Take Away
5. Giant 50 cent coins
4. Driving on the opposite side of the road
3. Phones don't have dialtones like at home
2. Crosswalks make noise for the seeing impared
1. Driving on the opposite side of the car
