Buenos dias amigos!
Last week the bf and I used a voucher I'd received for a three course lunch with matched wine at the Hippopotamus restaurant. We'd had the voucher for almost six months and could never find a time to use it (the bf is ever-so-important(!!) and never takes a work lunch break!!) so last week he managed to find a slot in his diary and we went to lunch. UNFORTUNATELY, that morning I woke up feeling crappy with a cold! Typical.

| Hippopotamus is within the Museum Hotel in Wellington |
 |
| The outside (and inside actually) of the building is fabulous! |
 |
| Look closely and you'll see a hippo in my glass ;) |
 |
| A view of the harbour - and my house on the far right in the distance! |
 |
| I ordered the veggie option - roast carrot risotto with beetroot foam for my main. I loved how pink it was (SUCH a girl, huh!) |
 |
| And my dessert was raspberry panacotta. I'm not much of a dessert person, but I loved the presentation. |
 |
| The bf scoffed his lemon and pine nut tart |
 |
| As an art hotel, there are fabulous exhibits and pieces everywhere - including chairs |
 |
| And motorbikes in the lobby! |
 |
| And this little fella greeting you from the elevator! |
