The city of Wellington set up this ice skating rink during spring break. Spring Break? It still feels like winter out there. They wanted to see the feasibility of a more permanent rink that might be built in the city. The first day the rink never opened because of a mechanical problem. No ice = mechanical problem. A group of us were supposed to meet after dinner and have a skate. Since it wasn’t open, everybody just got sloshed at the nearby restaurants. Eventually they got everything figured out and they played a lot of 90’s pop as you can see here. Which adds to the comedy of Wellington Kiwis who can’t ice skate. Our one day off and we can’t go skating. Bitch.
