Internship

Well, I haven't updated much about my travels, but they have been good.

Last weekend (Easter) I went with Alex and Ben to the Great Barrier Island. We camped for 4 nights, and mainly spent the whole time relaxing on the beach. On Easter night, we stayed at a christian campground, but we happened to be there for their annual Easter Camp. There was late night Jesus rock and then a polar bear plunge at about 4 in the morning, proceeded by more Jesus rock music. Pretty intense. The last day, Alex and I tried fishing and snorkeling. We didn't catch anything, but we were offered a huge fillet of smoked snapper, so we took that and had a nice dinner.

Since then, I have been to my internship, which has been quiet a good time. I am enjoying it very much. It is a school for cerebral palsy, and I am a teacher aid, which has already been rewarding. Next week we have an overnight camp, and that should be interesting...

We went from Christchurch to Kaikoura (seals!), to Nelson (wine country!!) to the Abel Tasman National Park (rained out our kayaking plan!), to the Franz Joseph Glacier (OMG so much hiking and climbing!), to Haast, to Wanaka(sledging) to Queenstown, to Milford Sound (diving), to Dunedin (speights brewery and the cadbury factory), Timaru and back to Christchurch. And i did all of the driving. phew.
