What to do on a rainy day in Wellington
Don’t let the rain put you off of enjoying a city to it’s full potential. Wellington is known for it’s frequent windy gales and rainy climate making those clear sunny days even more valued but being here on a dull day is all just part of the Wellngton experience:
- Warm up with a coffee from one of the many cafe’s Wellington has to offer. If you really want to indulge yourself visit Ciocco Chocolaterie and Espresso Bar
(11 Tory Street) for a Chili Hot Chocolate guaranteed to heat you up! - Take the opportunity to visit one of Courtenay Place’s Theatre and movie houses, sit inside away from the weather and lose yourself in someone else’s stories.
- Purchase yourself a funky umbrella and gumboots (Wellington Boots for all the Brits!) and soldier on looking delisiciously stylish!
- Get creative with photography! Use the weather to your advantage and capture the puddles, splashes and moods gloomy days can bring.
- And the top thing which applies to any rainy day, any city, any time…. UPDATE YOUR FACEBOOK/TWITTER/BLOG/SKYPE MUM!!! Bring your loved ones up to date with your travel and prepare yourself for more adventure!
So don’t despair, Wellington is still a wonderful place to visit even in the rain, and if you need somewhere to hide from the rain, come and see us at Nomads Wellington Backpackers Hostel.
