Let the food tour begin

Yes I do love my food.. armed with an Entertainment book and my own fav spots the Food critiques/Laska tour Nick & I started in Sydney will now begin again!

La Bella Italia
Nevis St, Petone, Wellington, NZ
Budget:
$-$$ (under $50 for two) for brunch
Food: Nice tasty food although servings could be larger or price could be lower considering what you get - if you want to try something different, don't follow the locals and try something else other than a panini... all people seem to eat were paninis.
Atmostphere: I was introduced to La Bella Italia for a week-day lunch, if you want to enjoy the place go there for lunch during the week. Expect to wait for a table so browse through their warehouse section of the store. Also go during the week if you want to avoid the crazy locals with large egos. It is NOT cool to dress up to go out for lunch and jump the table queue just because you think you're important, nor is it cool to complain about having to walk up to the counter to pay instead of service coming to you.
Tip: They have good customer service... if you happen to leave your scarf behind. If you have an entertainment card, go and buy their grocery stuff and add it to your bill... you get 20% off.

WOW!

It's the World of Wearable Arts in Wellington last week. So what was a better thing to do between seminars and study? Go watch the parade!
Blurry pics but you get to see some of the Wgtn icons. Pity it was such a small parade.

Accessories crazy








Drums galore
