Day 54-57
Well we have enjoyed Wellington just as much the second time round!! We really love it here! Again we have spent most of our time eating and drinking (which hasn't helped my slimming world - but I talk myself into cheating easily enough ''we're only here once Steph so you may aswell eat the cake'' haha!). Today we walked up mount Victoria which had stunning views of the city however it's been boiling here today so we didn't really choose the best way to do a 4 mile uphill hike!! Lol on the way down I was so tired (and red faced) that I said to jake let's take this steep short cut which cuts off the winding track and will save time, jake says 'ooo I don't know it's pretty steep' I reply 'no no it's fine I don't mind the steepness lets go'.... within a second I slipped straight onto my bum and proceeded to slide down the rocky hill grazing all my hands in the process.. jake who is then beside himself laughing decides taking a photo is the best course of action!!! This didn't go down well! Haha (I might post the pic If im feeling brave but it's pretty embarrassing and my face is a weird shade of purple!)
On a more positive note... The Christmas festival was lovely!!! We went to a Christmas carol concert, ate churos and met santa!! So we are feeling very Christmassy! (It's still weird it being so hot though - it just doesn't feel right!!).
I forgot to tell you in the last blog about jakes nightmare hair cut!! (So funny) so every 3 weeks jake starts getting very nervy in that he needs to choose a Barbers to get his hair cut (he uses a very thorough process making sure to read all the reviews etc) and off he goes ready for it opening! Jake then comes back to the apartment saying 'it's not to bad actually it's ok' I said 'yeah it looks fine turn around lets have a look at the back' and OMG it was 2 different lengths and the line wasn't even straight!! I was crying laughing trying to get pictures to show him! He was in a massive mood for ages and didn't want to leave the apartment! We did find a barbers who fixed it for him later that day but it was still so funny! I'll post before and after pics!!
We are in an air B n B tonight near Wellington airport and are getting picked up at 4:30am to travel to Sydney, where we catch a flight to Bangkok and then a flight to Hanoi!! So we have spent the evening getting up to date with washing and having a serious re pack!
Jakes also really happy because it's currently 35 degrees in Bangkok! Too hot for me!
I'll post some pics now of the last couple of days and check in with you guys when we arrive in Bangkok for a short stopover before our flight to Hanoi!
Miss you all!
Love Steph xxxx

Maurice and Margaret Lloyd Very eventful days in Wellington. Sounds a fantastic place to holiday. You will probably have to rough it a bit more in Hanoi. I'm sure you can cope. Good luck and stay safe. xxxxx
