Theodore Bellamy: Accidental Discoveries

Auckland, annotated. I arrived with a notebook, two shirts, and modest ambitions. Instead, I collected footnotes: ferries, galleries, meals. Each discovery awkwardly timed, unexpectedly delightful, and entirely worth recording.

Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki

At Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki, I studied The Robertson Gift: Paths through Modernity. Masterpieces converse across decades. My notes do not compete, they merely admire from the margins.

Britomart

Britomart felt like shopping disguised as philosophy. At Kiri Nathan, heritage threads spoke louder than I did. Wonder Journal offered paper for unwritten thoughts, and Deadly Ponies tempted me with a green bag I almost bought.

Depot

Dinner at Depot Eatery proved iconic in more ways than one. The fish sliders earned their reputation: Iconic Auckland Eats indeed!

Kingi

At kingi, the menu traced New Zealand’s waters with care. Sustainable seafood arrived precise and elegant, each bite a quiet reminder that dining can nourish both appetite and conscience.

Pukekawa Auckland Domain

The glasshouses felt theatrically Victorian. Inside, tropical orchids spill, and in the fernery, amid kauri, tōtara, and endemic ferns, I’m outshone by greenery older than Australian gum trees. Plant envy, yes.
