Have been so busy, it's been hard to find the spare time to write! I'm really loving this town. We've got a heavy workload so that's been taking up lots of time, but we've gotten to see some pretty amazing places. The water here tastes AMAZING. The weather is most interesting. It can go from hot and humid to rainy and windy in minutes. Since the ozone here is really thin, you can really feel the sunlight, regardless of clouds. Overall, it's just really energizing to be here.
Went to Riccarton House and Bush yesterday: http://www.riccartonhouse.co.nz
It's one of few remaining untouched bush areas in NZ. They're also working on raising the Kiwi population within the bush, as many non-native species have become predators to the little guys.
Went to the botanical Gardens today and had dinner on the grass. Wonderful.
Have been having our anthropology lectures every day this week, our first final exam is on Friday so I have a lot of work to do! We depart on Sunday morning for Mt. Cook, the tallest mountain in New Zealand. Will update as often as possible.
Cheers.
