VictoriaMay 20
Sooooo our great dinner last night left both of us not feeling so great today. I think all the fried food finally caught up with us.
That didn’t stop Mitch from ticking another Wellington coffee shop off our list. This place was one of our favorites of the trip. Swimsuit coffee was a velvety, chocolate flavor. He said it was delish.
Owned and run by an award-winning barista, Swimsuit is another great example of a Wellington café with terrific coffee.
We took it easy and wandered around the city. Cuba Street is one of the best known and most popular streets in the city. It has a cool vibe and is considered the cultural heart of Wellington.
We made our way to Moore Wilson’s, a gourmet grocery, houseware and restaurant supply store.
I could’ve easily spent hours there, scanning the shelves for local products. We picked up a few things then headed to another grocery store, where we bought way too much Whittaker’s chocolate to bring home. The diet starts when, exactly?
We came back to the flat to start packing because we leave in TWO days for home!
For dinner, we were treated to an amazing Greek themed meal at Baz and Kerri’s house. Spinach and feta spanakopita, stuffed grape leaves (personal fav!), keftedes (meatballs), stuffed peppers, tzatziki, roasted potatoes, Greek salad and slow cooked zucchini and onions with tomatoes. What an extraordinary feast!
Tracey and Dave also joined, as did Baz and Kerri’s son Mitch. It was a special evening with delicious food enjoyed with truly wonderful people!
