Government House in Wellington has an annual open day and finally, this year, I remembered to make the effort to head along. It was a gorgeous day and the place is incredible! The grounds are massive and the inside is pretty big too. It's got an aura of faded opulence about it, I reckon the art is the most valuable thing inside! I loved to see that they eat marmite just the same as the rest of us too.
We had good fun gawking at the gifts from other countries, learnt heaps about New Zealand's medal system, and were as irreverent as possible at all possible occasions (loved the piano)!
They also had a whole heap of chairs embroidered with all the names of the different cities. As much as I tried, I couldn't find the North Shore though! Auckland was the best I could do...
