After much too long, I am finally getting around to putting up an update.
There has been a fair lot going on recently. Not much around 2 weeks ago, hence the lack of a new post, but this past week has been pretty happening.
Left Wednesday evening for Wellington to attend a conference. After checking in to our hotel, we headed off in the general direction of Lambton Quay to find The Malthouse. I couln't remember the name or exact location, but vaguely remembered it being in the area. Just so happens, we walked right up to it! They have a really nice selection of beers there, and the atmosphere wasn't bad. I jumped on the Cock & Bull Monk's Habit, that they had on tap. Not a bad drop at all, though I wouldn't spend a whole night drinking just that. After a few more interesting and not so interesting brews, it was off to bed.
Thursday evening saw us at the Bar Bodega again, and I managed to find 5 more beers there that I hadn't tried before, and there are still a few there I have yet to try.
Saturday I more or less spent recovering from the conference sponsored food and drinks of Friday evening, but Sunday was a beautiful day for some climbing.
We headed out to The Monument, and after huffing and puffing up the hill for half an hour we had some good climbs in front of us. It all took a little longer than we expected though (as usual), and it ended up getting rather dark and very very foggy for the walk back to the car. No big deal, we thought, we all have head lamps or flashlights, and it is all downhill. We very quickly realised though, that we couldn't see more than about 2-3 metres in front of ourselves. The next thing we know, we are walking on terrain that is very unfamiliar. We were well and truly lost! Thankfully, a dog was barking somewhere off in the distance, and by using that as a guide we eventually found the street, about 400m from the car. It only took us 1.5 hours and 2 sets of batteries in my headlamp.
