Planning trips around New Zealand has pretty much consumed my time here. I am constantly looking forward to the weekend and the next weekend and the next. However, for the past few weekends it seems that mother nature has been against us travelers, as it tends to rain at some point during the weekend. The weather puts a damper on things and might slow me down, but it definitely won’t stop me. Last Friday my best friend from home came all the way out here to come visit me for a couple weeks, butI refuse the rain and snow to stop me from showing here the great things New Zealand and Dunedin have to offer. This past weekend a couple of friends and I were able to rent a car and take a day trip to Nugget Point. We were in and out of rain and snow storms the whole time we were driving down there, but luckily for us when we finally arrived to the lighthouse, the weather cleared up and we were greeted by a beautiful rainbow! Those views are something I’ll never forget. I was also lucky enough to be in the presence of PENGUINS! Seeing penguins was at the top of my New Zealand bucket list and I’m so incredibly happy that I can check it off! Speaking of checking off things on my bucket list, I’m going bungee jumping in Queenstown this weekend! I’m nervous but even more excited. Its hard for me to believe these kinds of things are actually happening! I’m definitely looking format to this weekend’s trip and spring break that coming up right around the corner! More exciting things to come!
