Days 50-57 (10/15-10/22) - Wellington

Day 50 - Wellington We got up this morning pretty early to take the ferry to Day´s Bay across the harbor. I got a delicious waffle for breakfast before getting bikes and biking about a total about 15-16 miles along the coast. Most of the path was gravel so it was kind of painful but it was cool. When we were done we took the ferry back and ate dinner before going to bed.

Day 51 - Wellington We got up and did a bunch of schoolwork all morning and it was not fun. We went to Weta Workshop where they made props, costumes, weapons, and armor for a ton of movies, including the Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. After that we got back and had gnocchi before finishing up the day.

Day 52 - Wellington The morning yielded more boring schoolwork that, which I have obviously made clear in recent posts, is not fun. Around 11:30 we took the bus into downtown and went into a few bookstores before going on our parliament tour. It was pretty cool. We watched them debate a little before going back and having dinner, watching TV, and going to bed.

Day 53 - Wellington The morning meant schoolwork and boring stuff and blah blah blah. In the afternoon I had a lot of free time so I read and watched TV. We went on a walk along the harbor to a restaurant for dinner. I got some pretty good fish and chips before we got gelato and hung around before bed.

Day 54 - Wellington Morning = Schoolwork. That´s just how it´s been the last few days. The Broncos played the Chiefs and it was just awful. The broncos are horrible. 30-6 Chiefs win. After that I watched TV the rest of the day before delicious dinner and bed.

Day 55 - Wellington I only had to do little bit of schoolwork this morning (hallelujah). Most of my time was spent reading new books. We watched Wake play Carolina in soccer and Wake won 1-0. Dad and I went to a park where we threw baseball for a little bit. We stopped at the store on the way back. We went to a place called Leroy´s for dinner and we all got the same delicious burger. We came back and watched more TV before bed.

Day 56 - Wellington We got up and walked to a market where we got a delicious donut and savory crepe for breakfast. We got back to watch the Wake - FSU football game. 22-20 Wake. It was kind of an ugly game because we won with only 1 touchdown and 5 field goals. The rest of the day was TV and school. After dinner we played cards before bed.

Day 57 - Wellington We got up and Ada and I played Yahtzee all morning. We also did some schoolwork and watched some TV for basically the rest of the day. We had dinner to conclude an extremely uneventful day.
