welly is lovely, funky, fresh, neat, friendly, and full of things to do – though it’s windy as all hell and can get quite cold in early spring (when i was there). museums, cuba district definitely worth checking out.

Too windy and lots of rain. I went there twice and each time weather was bad, maybe it’s just my bad luck.

Locals seem to be more friendly than Chch and AKL.
