DunEEdin.

Hello all.

I would like you to know that you should appreciate how easy it is for you to access the World Wide Web. New Zealand, though it might seem advanced in its wildlife saving methods, has an extreme lack of internet facilities. Oh, you could, for example, make your way to the PUBLIC LIBRARY, where they might have ONE DESKTOP on which you might use internet for $2 for FIFTEEN MINUTES!

Yeah... this town had all of 2 locations at which to access the internet, both of which cost about that much... I don't know how people live over here.

Anyways, after staying two glorious nights at Queenstown and wishing that we had worked at ski resorts adjacent to this town, (of which there are many,) we moved towards the south. That's the kind of place where one might have no access to internet for days. There is ocean and gorgeous greenery all around you, but there isn't much else. Jon and I stayed at a campground that had sheep just roaming on it and was next to the beach. It couldn't get much better than that. Then, we met people on the campground who were building a fire, and some others that had brought instruments. We had an epic night of singing by the fire. That was just awesome. And to top it all off, in the morning, we accidentally ended up herding sheep in front of the car as we were trying to drive out. No, not just 10 sheep. Probably about a hundred. Hehe. Epic. (Certain friends of mine might refer to the whole experience as majestic. And that it was. My camera simply cannot capture the immensity of the natural beauty here.)

Anyways, we are now driving north along the coast, and have reached a CITY called Dunedin, which is pronounced DunEEEdin. We got a little flustered trying to drive in the city center. After driving long winding roads for days on end, cities are scary!

So now we are staying at another holiday park, on the peninsula outside of the city, where the houses are scarce and the wildlife is abundant.

Oh by the way. WE SAW PENGUINS TODAY. Little tiny ones called blue penguins. They came in little groups to the beach and scampered up the terrain at dusk. CUTE. One of them was not even bothering to hide himself away. He just walked up the road to his favorite den. (New Zealand had already built little huts to suit the penguins in order to keep the birds coming here, and to keep the tourists paying for their meals.) We followed the little guy up the hill as we were walking back to our car. Awesome.


Ok it is late now, and I am paying to write this, so you can imagine that I might want to stop writing right about now.

Talk to you all soon!
