I spent the week working in Wellington last week. While still away from home, it was nice to travel somewhere new and experience different things. I was so pleasantly surprised with Wellington. Sunny, warm (yes! In June!!) and not at all windy. Well, a little windy but nothing different to Melbourne or Auckland and nothing like what I was expecting.
I stayed at the Amora and was so impressed. The breakfast buffet, though modest, had all the necessities and the prettiest tea set I have ever had the privilege of using. I did not think I was one for fine China or pretty florals but it turns out, I was wrong. While I would never choose to have this kind of crockery in my own home, I found it quite likable to drink from.
The pot was large enough for me to have three decent sized cups of tea over the course of breakfast. And, due to the volume of water, it held it's temperature better than the smaller tea pots so the last cup was still warm enough to drink. I always find that a fine edge to a cup makes the tea taste better. I like the little chink the cup makes as you put it back on the saucer (a luxury I would never have the patience for at home). Plus, I love butterflies.
It was such a nice way to start the day.
