Each weekend I come home saying that it was the most fun I have had yet, but this weekend definitly was. Nicki, Alex, Hamish and I went down to Dunedin, which happens to be Hamishs hometown. We had our very own tourguide. Some of the highlights include seeing penguins, albatross, seals, and a cool town. Hamish knew all the best places to see wildlife and the first spot we went he stuck his head in a ditch and sure enough a baby penguin was there. I was 2 feet from a blue penguin! Also in this same spot there were albatross flying overhead, which was unusual but it was very windy so we were lucky. They have the largest wingspan in the world, 3meters! After that we went to another secluded beach area and climbed down army style to see the yellow eyed penguins coming home from sea. It was pretty amazing.
Other highlights include seeing the factory that supplies me with much happiness, The Cadbury factory. I was expecting a willy wonka-esque tour but we actually didnt get to go in...oh well we got free candy it smelled delicious. We also went to the Speights brewery tour, which was also interesting...it is the oldest brewery on the south island. We also had a great home cooked meal from Hamishs mom! SO.... I am very happy that we went and it for sure the best trip yet....
Now I have a couple projects due for class, so nothing new or exciting planned yet....
