First term starts tomorrow but we have just come home from a great trip around Otago. First of all we headed south down along the Catlins. The Catlins comprises an area in the southeastern corner of the South Island of New Zealand. The area lies between Balclutha and Invercargill, straddling the boundary between the Otago and Southland regions.It is an amazing coastline with some awesome ocean stretches as well as some pretty rare wildlife. We spent a dusk on the beach - very cold - watching yellow eyed penguins come ashore. The rarest penguins in the world. We went down to Bluff, the southern most tip of NZ and hung out in that boom town - Invercargill (joking :)).
We then headed into the mountains and stayed with friends at Wanaka, over the Crown Ranges from Queenstown. We had two nights of great dinners and laughs as well as two days on the snow at Treble Cone. We got off the snow at lunchtime today and were back in Dunedin 3 hours later. The ski fields are so close - methinks a week in September during the next break.
Oh, well to it tomorrow - Bring it on!
