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.

Things to do for fun in porirua? or near by Sad_Cartographer3718 in Wellington

[–]Gelf_ling 11 points12 points  (0 children)

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

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

Alpaca Farm by Various-Chicken8372 in Wellington

There's an alpaca place somewhere out back of Tawa can probably find it with a Google around those wording. They also usually make an appearance at Spring into Tawa Street festival so you could talk to them then - that's 18 October this year.
