No, not you little Basil, you can stay sitting down. Yesterday Wellington changed its mind and took the sun back in.
Yesterday the other Wellington came out to play, the darker side. The windy side. 
Yesterday, undaunted, we braced the elements and walked around the bay to another cafe. 
Then we peered into the window of the Fish’n Chip shop. 
But the blustery fractious winds blew us back indoors.
We sheltered in Soi, a lovely little restaurant along the waterfront. 
We ate looking out the window, sipping on fresh crisp New Zealand wines.
And felt grateful that we were not at sea.
Good morning. Have a lovely, lovely day.

Great shots, as always.
I’ve done the math on the exchange rate, and those breakfast prices are incredibly high. Is that normal pricing? Perhaps our prices here are abnormally low due to abundance, yes, but also things like factory farming? I suppose New Zealand may have to import many things as well? Sorry for getting all serious on a fun blog post, but I figured you would not mind, especially considering the ethos of your Farmy. Happy travels.
Those prices are about average here Neil – especially in a ‘nicer’ cafe I.e. one that uses free-range eggs etc 🙂
Hi, In comparison to my part of New Zealand yes those prices are high but only by one or two dollars
new zealand is expensive, way more expensive than the states.. morning neil and gabe.. c
I want some fish and chips 😉
Wellington’s weather sure can vary and that little restaurant looks to be in a perfect location with year-’round views of the harbor. I have always enjoyed dining along the waterfront — as long as the wind isn’t strong enough to blow the food away, or worse. :O
Continued good times for you, Celi!
The snow clouds have surrounded us. Visibility is poor. No wind. But a breeze, the breeze is cold. Very. Water hovers in those clouds…lifegiving water.

I have a fellow feeling for you – the weather is exactly like that here today. Keep ’em coming (the posts and the photos)

Strange that today’s post is about the wind and weather change.Last night my husband and I saw the new movie, “The Impossible,” which is about the Tsunami in Thailand. Devastating the way it struck so suddenly and so powerfully. Frightening how quickly everything changes.
i am loving your trip! is that a divi divi tree?
HI Celi… windy Wellington ‘s been looking lovely. Wish you were beside the sea up here, the pohutakawas are ablaze against the turquoise sea.. looking forward to connecting if you can still spare the time…….
Well, Wellington is known as the Windy City for a reason and there truly are those big, lazy ‘high”s headed your way! Hope the wines chosen came from Marlborough way . . . I try to have a very small carbon footprint, but must admit to smiling when glasses are filled with some of those New Zealand brews 🙂 !
It might have been blustery, but it was still quite beautiful! The sky is gorgeous! 🙂
Sounds like this was not a good day to wear a skirt unless you were going for the Marilyn Monroe look. That greasy spoon looks like a good respite from the weather.
Wow Celi, look at those trees! You know, I always wanted to lift a natural bonsai tree from the top of a mountain somewhere but Wellington looks as good a place as any. Love the cat photo, so, “Well, can I help you?”-ish.
Those skies, Celi! I love that shot of the lake with the tree in the foreground. Wellington is a very beautiful place.
Wellington looks beautiful! Love the kitty pic too. 🙂
I have been to windy Wellington, but it was a long time ago…I must return.
