Wellington

Wellington is the capital of New Zealand and it's where I grew up (except for 1 year spent in the UK, but can't find the photos I took back then). Wellington is best known for being windy, which these photos don't really convey very well, if you want to imagine that you're in the photo, just pretend that it's 5 degrees Celsius colder than it looks and your head hurts. Though in summer the wind usually isn't that bad. I still miss being in Wellington, although it's the capital it's small and pretty laid-back, and it has a lot of good bars and cafes (though I was pretty disappointed when I found Starbucks had arrived when I was in the US).
