Wow i just had one of the most incredible weekends of my life!
I headed down with 4 people to Dunedin, about a 5 hours drive south, to see the All Blacks, New Zealand's rugby team, take on South Africa. I didn't have a ticket when i headed down there, but i really didn't care, i wanted to see Dunedin anyways. We stayed with one of my friend's friends in her flat it was really nice and she was nice enough to show us around town too. After a first night there we decided to go to the All Blacks store downtown, so of course we could buy some swag. I bought a few things and while i was checking out the lady asked me if i had tickets, i of course said no but a few of my friends did. The next thing i knew a man comes up to me and tells me he has an extra ticket and would sell it to me for $50, that was like 50-75 dollars less than everyone else i knew had paid for theirs so i of course jumped on it. The game was a ton of fun! I didn't know what the hell was going on and we lost but it was fun none the less! Oh little weird note, everyone pees in public here. I walked out of the stadium and there was like 10 guys all lined up and girls in the bushes all just peeing in the grass. And it was more than just at sporting events people seem to be ok with doing it anywhere. Ok more on the trip. The drive was absolutely beautiful, just sooo gorgeous the whole way. The first day we got there we went to a place called sand fly bay to see the penguins come up onto shore for the night. We only saw two but we also saw sea lions just lounging about on the beach, they were so cool. I don't have pictures of the penguins because it scares them but i do have a few of the sea lions check them out. I mean the beach was gorgeous without the wildlife but that was certainly a bonus. We also stopped on a beach on the way down to see some boulders of some sort. The beach was again absolutely gorgeous! While we were there we also go to see some mini horses being walked by there owner, they were pretty cool too. The next morning after our first night we went down to tunnel beach. Gosh i had more words to describe it but it was amazing, just amazing. you walk down to a trail and come to an area of absolute cliffs, then the trail continues on to a small tunnel supposedly dug and chiseled away by a farmer in the 1800's to give his daughter a beach who the first time out ended up drowning. You follow this tunnel down and end up down at the beach, which i suppose you could have already figured, surrounded by cliffs and walls of rocks all around. It was incredible. That night was the game night and then out to the bars, which were a riot as always. Then today we woke up got dressed and hit the road on our way back home.
Ugh, classes start tomorrow, guess the party is semi over. I'll let you know how they go. Ok that's it for the most part for now. I don't have any sheep jokes but I'm working on it. Cheers
