Good and bad things to do on a weekend in Wellington

Good things...

• Dinner at Fratelli.  Great Italian - try the venison risotto, to die for! Matched with a great bottle of Montepulciano and you're set.
• Live Music at the Cavern Club. Great cover bands are a great excuse to dance badly and still have a fun time!
• Cocktails at Apartment Bar - their Cointreau Cocktail menu is great, try the Jaffa Cake
• Sunday Mornings at the Waterfront Market near Te Papa
• Coffee at any one of the fine cafes around the city - Personal recommendations include Memphis Belle and Lamason
• Brunch at Brooklyn Bakery - especially to soak up the alcohol the night before!

Bad Things...

• Mixing wine, kahlua & milk and tequila shots, especially without eating dinner.  Your stomach will hold a grudge for a long time!
• Drinking cheap sauvignon blanc.  Life is too short to drink bad wine
• Getting caught in Wellington's weather.  While you can't beat Wellington on a good day, when it is bad it is grotty!
