Being a Tourist

After my haircut yesterday, I took the Wellington Cable Car up the hill and walked through the Cable Car Museum. I had planned on walking through the Botanical Gardens, but the wind and rain kept me inside.

After that, I went back to the hotel for a bit, then I went to see the movie Green Book. Another incredible performance by Viggo Mortensen. If you haven't seen it yet, it's a really good based-on-a-true story that runs the gambit of emotions: love and hate, anger and contentment, joy and sorrow.

After that, I had a couple of ciders at the Welsh Dragon pub. Yes, Tom Jones has been there 😉. Fifty years ago the building was a public toilet and it still has a striking shape, which you can see on Google Maps (https://maps.app.goo.gl/bKHE3).

Today, I'm heading to the National War Memorial. But first, lunch at an authentic Japanese place, pork gyoza and udon noodle soup. Yummy!!!

So long [for now] and thanks for all the fish. ✌️Read more
