Dear Wellington,
You were a real treat. Your abundance of life in the CBD scared my fiancee and I who are used to the desolate wasteland that is Christchurch CBD. In fact you have so many people on your inner city footpaths that we were very glad Lime scooters aren't a thing in Wellywood yet, there'll be deaths.
Also, wtf was with the warm weather this weekend? Saturday was grey, but Friday and Sunday we were cooking, we'd brought all our best merinos and then boom, Wellington confounded us.
We ate at Dragonfly and Larettos and enjoyed them both, and even waited 20 minutes for a table at Fidel's for brunch on Sunday, which was a novel experience.
Have to say though - STOP TRYING TO BRING THE MULLET BACK - maybe it was just Cuba St, but holy shit, so many ironic mullets. Also way too many women with bowl cut or bowl cut derived haircuts, sweet Jesus. And obviously granny frames on your glasses and white sneakers are now a thing.
Bonus points for the dedicated goths I saw though, you're a dying breed, but keep shining that dark beacon.
