What to do when one's parents come to town and want to take you out to dinner? We usually quiz our fellow Wellingtonistæ around the office watercooler: there's always an opinion or three on a subject like this.
Having observed a steaming hot urn of it at the Southern Cross on Saturday night, surrounded by blankets and hot water bottles, we want to know: where can one get the best mulled wine in Wellington, how much will we have to pay for it, and approximately what alcoholic percentage will it be?

It's been a long time since we've mentioned Snapper in these pages.
In the meantime it's become so much of an everyday part of life in Wellington now that it hardly seems worth mentioning anymore. Or is it?
Recently we got an email from Snapper asking us if we'd like to come and see what they're up to. It seems they've had a few other things on the go as well as the recent Valley Flyer conversion

The fares have gone up! Well, for some of us they have. The new zones do make things a little simpler, but one gets the feeling the 2 and 3 stage price hikes will generally outweigh the discounts the more rare 4 stage traveller will be making.
