WW: Christmas Tree Competition at Wellington International Airport


Here we go...

The wonderful time of the year, especially to those celebrating Christmas and the holiday. 

mmuaaaah...

I have travelled to Christchurch again last week and we flew with Air New Zealand. Like in many places, the holiday vibe is in the air and this is what we have in the airport, Christmas Tree Competition at Wellington International Airport. 



Although I don't celebrate Christmas, but I can feel the joy and am happy as well. 
So, let's see what we have in the airport!










Some are classic, some are cute, and some are purple. Yeaaah

the owl..








Aren't they lovely?

Join us on (almost) Wordless Wednesday with us and enjoy the linky party.

Quest on the Terrace, A Compact Aparthotel in the heart of Wellington



Kia Ora! 

I hope everyone is fine and just like us, the Frakarsas, you find everyday a brand new adventure. We are now entering the third week of our journey in the land of Kiwis. Since arriving in Wellington, we have lived temporarily in Quest on the Terrace

An apart hotel resides in the heart of Wellington City, Quest on the Terrace has been well-known as a hub for those staying in the city for a long period of time or those who just briefly visit the city.

We have booked this place for one month stay. Well, until the end of December, we will be staying here. Good thing I have already found the house for us and I will definitely share the story of this homey home-away-from-home on the next post.

So, let's take a closer look at 
Quest on the Terrace.

I got the 2-bed room apartment with daily service (except on Sunday and public holiday). I have one double bed for my and my hubby and 2 single beds for my kids, temporarily.



It has complete kitchen, with stoves, oven, hood, fridge, microwave, toaster, utensils and dishwasher.  Dinnerwares and cookwares that can cater 4-6 peoples are also available. 




Before I go further, I just have to point out that I have wonderful view of the houses on the hills (so Wellington) from my living room.

the lovely view from my living room

We have the living room and one bathroom with toilet and washing machine as well. You get your flat screen TV, Sky box (for extra channel and entertainment) and in-room phone. The living room have love seat comfy sofa.


We also have the dining table for 4 as well. 


Really a comfort of home, although now it's packed with out big luggages.




Oh, and we also have access to the gym, which is located two-buildings away and it has pool as well! I have to admit I haven't tried it but I will definitely do that. Soon!

The lobby is also comfortable. Well, not too big or too fancy but it's lovely and it has receptionist who will be ready and friendly to assist you with anything.



This place is only 5 - minute walk to Lambton Quay, which is the city center with all the shops, restaurants, malls and shopping centers, and 10-15 minutes walk to the Waterfront. Te Papa museum and more are around the area as well. So, all in all, this place is indeed recommended. 


Go check out the price on their web and get the best price for your stay! Cheers...



Wonderful Wednesday with My Purple World, Oh My Heartsie Girls and Friends

This week, the festivity in my house began!

On December 8, my daughter celebrates here 11th birthday. Soon, we will have my hubby's and our wedding, anniversary, then my son will soon be 15 years old. All the birthday party... yaaaay! And for sure we are all so excited as we celebrate them in Wellington, New Zealand. Well, we still stay in our temporary apartment hotel but we do enjoy our little 'home sweet home'. We are staying at the Quest on the Terrace and although we are staying in 2-bedroom apartment temporarily, this place is very strategic and it's only 5-minute walk to the City Center and waterfront, with access to shopping centers, restaurants, and more. Super happy me indeed.



As always, our first big homework in a new post is searching for the house. Well, the hunt has begun and we sincerely hope we can get the one that matches our needs and has great school for the kids. It might be a bit difficult but we are still optimistic. Well, wish us luck!

WW: One Sunny Day at Waterfront Wellington

One sunny day at Waterfront Wellington

We're here!

We finally arrived at Wellington and passed our self-isolation period for 3 extra days after 7-day quarantine in Christchurch. 

Our swab test were all negative so we can finally go out and start enjoying Wellington, still with strict health protocol in place. We have the COVID tracer app and vaccine pass as well here.


Well, as summer is on in Wellington, we enjoyed one sunny day at the waterfront which is not that far from our temporary aparthotel in Wellington Central. We certainly enjoy it so much and it's always great to see the sunshine and blue sky again,
