Lord of the Rings Studio Tour!

Went to the Weta Cave to see the cool props and production stuff from films such as The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Avatar and Planet of the Apes. So so so amazing.

Breakfast:
Overnight chocolate oats
Snack:
Dried apricots (2)
(Major migraine so I didn't feel like eating, but I needed something in my stomach before taking medication.)
Dinner at the Fisherman's Plate, Wellington, North Island, New Zealand:
Vermicelli noodles w/veggie egg rolls
(Such a small world! Met a friend of Jimmy's from high school at the hostel I'm staying and grabbed dinner with him. This place sells both Viet food and fish and chips, which I thought was kind of weird but also cool. The woman who took my order didn't understand my specifications and asked her co-worker to translate in Viet, so I ended up ordering in Viet. They were so nice to me after that! The veggie egg rolls don't compare to my mom's, and it was interesting how there was radish in the salad, but the dish wasn't bad overall. I liked that the fish sauce was diluted, but it could have used some acidity.)
Snack from the Agua Fresca stall at the Wellington Cuba Street Night Markets, Wellington, North Island, New Zealand:
Tamarind juice (+sample of horchata)
(Their horchata was too sweet so I got the tamarind. Not as fresh as the ones I've had before, but I likes the chunks of tamarind in it.)

Cameron's birthday celebration at the hostel:
Carrot cake (baked by Shona)
