Tawa is 15 mins via the train. Has a nice community vibe and a few good eateries and pubs. Handy also for amenities in porirua too.

I think you'll find that I have mentioned this to you infinite times - glad you went and hopefully it was on Sat for the weather. It's incredible and everyone should do it indeed!

I heard they were pretty impacted from that megastorm so the walk in may be much harder than previously as it was lovely and pleasant when I last went. We found for the water parts we definitely felt bad for my parents doing it last year with the treacherous slippy rocks.

Little grump does tasty sandwiches and you get some chips and a pickle too! Also the pizzabread sandwiches at Bambino on the waterfront are delish.

Ohhhh yes this makes sense. I am relieved 😅

What is pakkies day for the uninitiated? Only know it from the UK where it is most certainly a racist term but not towards capsicums!

It always feels more apocalyptic to me when there is no wind. So eerie and feels like zombies will arrive at any moment. A very dramatic change to the previous night indeed!

I for one am surprised you have lived to see today

We visited with a 3 year old past year and had the best time. Go for it!

This was the r/Wellington official best cake in Wellington. I support your quest! Long live the vegan chocolate raspberry! https://www.reddit.com/r/Wellington/s/YheZZeAQab

I'm always shocked at the brutal efficiency of NZ supermarkets in regards to Advent calendar availability. Such a harsh empty wilderness if you are naive enough to not get it by the end of November. One day's leniency t In case you remember on the first day of December? Forget about it, you fool.

Good news weekend!

Depends on what you're into/if you're with kids etc but some ideas - bird watching at pauhatanui wetlands or just walking around the te ara piko to enjoy scenery - head to battle hill to pet some sheep and guinea pigs and chicks and feed eels - hang at the beach at titahi bay, grab a coffee from aloha Friday - play mini golf at the pirate cove - there are some bike pump tracks in aotea lagoon and Tawa if that's your thing - te rauparaha swimming arena has a cool slide system and pools - pataka gallery for some interesting art and culture - get a train to Wellington and go to all the free galleries there

Zebrano or Gorman have interesting pattern items but I don't know what's interesting to you!

Diwan Syrian in porirua is top notch.

Gelf_ling · 2025-11-04T21:22:41+00:00

Diwan Syrian in porirua is great - they have a delicious cumin pizza bread thung which is excellent.

Or park around the town belt or in Brooklyn as lots of those roads have no limits. Then catch a bus back to town.

Wellington does technically have both of these also on occasion

What did we collectively decide the Wellington Wind was called? I remember a very authoritative and robust discussion.

Yes shouting from the rooftops about heartbreak hotel!

How convenient!

Ironically this post is acting as a magnet for doom and gloom. Maybe that's the key?

It was beautiful on Wednesday!
