My last trip in New Zealand! 😦 Extremely sad, but it was incredible! 😀
June 9th –
Kicked the trip off amazingly with a train ride with my pal and fellow TEAN’er, Evan from Wellington to Auckland! We left at 7:55 am and arrived around 7 pm. Yeah, it was a long ride but the view of the country side was worth it! Plus, now I can say I have taken a train through the North Island of New Zealand 😀
Caught the morning ferry from Wellington down to Picton on Saturday! The ride was 3-3.5 hours and it was a much bigger ferry than I thought it would be! I woke up way earlier than normal so I spent the first half of the trip inside sleeping and then the second half (which of course was more exciting as we got closer to Picton) up on the top deck.
One of my really good friends from childhood, Megan, is studying abroad in Western Australia this semester while I’m here in NZ. Luckily enough it worked out that she was able to come over to NZ for about a week and we were able to have our very own Middle Earth Adventures!
This past weekend I went on a road trip with some friends around the southern part of New Zealand’s North Island.
Our goals for the weekend: check out some Lord of the Rings filming sites, see some other incredible things, and have fun!
This past weekend I made another trip to down to Wellington to meet up for a TEAN sponsored event to the Wellington Hurricane rugby game against Australia’s Western Force.
By no means am I an expert on rugby; heck, I barely understand the game at all! Even so, it was really neat to watch! And of course it’s enver a dull moment when I’m surrounded by my fellow NZ TEAN’ers 🙂
