day 11: wellington east

everyone talked about how fun and fantastic the carribean coast was, how laid back the carrib vibe, how wonderful the beaches were, how hot and humid the weather would be, and how delightful the swimming would be. maybe someone could have also mentioned that this time of the year is THE RAINY SEASON IN THIS PART OF THE COUNTRY? oh, sure, i suppose i could have perhaps figured it out with careful examinations of graphs and inferred it from descriptions of seasonal surfing conditions, etc. but you’d think that one of our two native travel agents would have mentioned something? it’s like fucking NEW ZEALAND OUT HERE ALREADY.

instead of being nice, hot, and sunny like the rest of the country is now, it’s cool, damp, and rains intermittently. at least the little place where we’re staying has a spa so hmc can be entertained, returning smelling of cacao after her chocolate body wrap.

but honestly, i feel like we’ve left sydney for wellington all over again.
