So, after a nice day in Napier lounging around and looking at some amazing Art Deco designs, we set out on the long coach journey (complete with a couple of in-bred fellow passengers) to Wellington on the monday. Met Nick Radburn in Welly and went back to his place to stay for a while in luxury. Sky TV! Comfortable chairs! Hard beds! The last couple of days in Wellington have been excellent - we've eaten well and been thoroughly entertained. Yesterday we went to Tep Papa National Museum and saw a cracking Constable exhibition (no, the irony of travelling 13,000 miles to see paintings of England was not lost on us), and then went for a drink or two. We also saw parliament, and we're seeing Funkadelic soon too. That wasn't a bad gag, i hope one of you gets it. Parliament is strangely accessible really - it's possible to walk around all four walls and not get looked at or accosted by any security. Sarah Connor could run into there followed by The Terminator, Uzi 9mm in hand, and nobody would bat an eyelid. Ben has an interview with somebody from PriceWaterhouseCoopers in town today, so he's probably getting a load of free nosh and booze, the bastard. We'll have to entertain ourselves. Tomorrow i think we're off to the south island. I'm expecting to see endless parades of Lord Of The Nerds fans, and frankly i look forward to it. Nothing more entertaining than seeing a bunch of no-friends losers wasting their lives looking for the homes of make believe CGI pixies. And people thought Hitler was insane. |
