16.10.12

Today Melinda bought an iPhone! She wasn't sure, but after some persuasion she clicked that little "Buy Now" button on Trademe and it was done.

We picked it up this afternoon from the most amazing place on earth. Well, that's a bit of an exaggeration.

As we drove into this place, it looked like a big factory up ahead. I thought that this would be a place to murder someone and hide them. We were a bit worried.

The concrete walls were covered in grafitti art and there was a wall made of rusted bike wheels. Up the curving driveway there were other strange art pieces scattered in odd places. Old villas with verandahs had benches and fountains covered in crochet. It was like we had driven into an art commune.

That's actually kinda accurate, except much less scary.

It was an old winery, turned into an art estate with artist studios, performance places, galleries, theatres, and a beautiful old church.

It was so weird and wonderful.
