Teapots & Lampshades: An Intro To Auckland

Good Evening Folks, how does this Thursday find everyone? It finds me wearing a grin from ear to ear due to the fact I am off to the cinema in about two hours to see the final Harry Potter film- ahhh it is the end of an era really.

But enough about that, I wanted to show you how last night looked when I went out for what was suppose to be a few casual drinks with Emmily and Neil, but some how ended with me pouring myself into bed around six this morning- alas!

So let us take a look...

This is how I looked for the evening- a total bonus of moving in with my sister is that I now have a whole new array of dresses to choose from.

Emmily and me walked through the somewhat rainy night in search of the big city lights.

But we opted for the bus instead.

We walked down Queen Street...

Towards Mac's Brewery on the waterfront.

Which as a very nice touch has vertically challenged lampshades hanging from the ceiling- which kind of reminds of something from Alice In Wonderland.

Before long Neil came to join us and we sat and spoke about all things big and small.

Before we decided to continue on into the night...

Towards Cassette No.9 on Vulcan Lane

Where they have the nicest drinks in sweet little teapots- another nice touch.

And we spent the night sitting on the balcony drinking far to many teapots and meeting some lovely folks.

And thus was my Wednesday Night!

Feeona's Adventures In Wonderland

A few weeks ago it was decided that before Sinead and myself left the lovely North America, that we would indeed have to make a trip out to the spectacle that is Canada's Wonderland! So along with the always adorable Stephanie & Tong that is just what we did.

Now lets see how the day went...

After a slight detour in the wrong direction we finally arrived at Canada's Wonderland!

Where it seemed that the fore casted thunderstorms weren't enough to diminish the spirits of the hoards of thrill seeking punters.

Of course once said thunderstorm actually hit the park it was a different story as everyone ran for cover to avoid getting wet- even if it meant wearing really ridiculous rain jackets.

Soon enough it was deemed safe enough to go on all the rides, so after powering up on candy we headed back out to challenge as many roller coasters and rides as we could before possible throwing up...

Including the infamous Behemoth which just about killed me.

And before we knew it the sun was setting and our heads were getting a little cloudier...

So we headed home to collapse in our beds for a few hours before Sinead and me decided it was time to go out for some dancing. But now that's another story.

Street Art Of Williamsburg

Salutations dear ones! I hope everybody has been perfectly smashing these past few days!

After arriving in Auckland just five short days ago after a very long trip from Toronto (which included a stop over in LAX Airport in which I shared an elevator with Reese Witherspoon- gasp!), I am slowly starting to feel a bit more settled with my surroundings once again. Which of course means more regular blogging! Yay!

So lets start with some insight into my latest trip to New York City, in which I finally got the chance to head over to Williamsburg, Brooklyn- definitely one of the best places I have been to in a long time! The streets of Williamsburg are buzzing with culture, beautiful people and some very amazing art lining the streets- the latter of which is what I want to share with you all today. I would love to hear your thoughts on them!

Ahhh it feels good to be back at my sweet little blog (-:
