Happy New Year - Gott Nytt År!
I met up with some 15 other people in the Active Wellington group and celebrated the new year in the Wellington Harbour area.
It was great to be smack in the middle of things with nice people, but the ban on alcohol in public places really ruined it. A lot of "You can't be on the lawn with a beer after 21:00", "You're not allowed to be away from the tables with a drink", and of course having a cup of coffee at the strike of 12 does ruin thinsg quite a bit.
Very odd, as I would expect this kind of hysteria in Sweden and the UK, rather than New Zealand, but they can't get all things right. Hopefully it'll be fixed when we get a new government.
The important thing is that my first two month in New Zealand have been amazing and there is no way I would allow such a minor outbreak of nonsense overshadow all the fantastic expriences I've had so far!
Happy New Year!
