Sail On


I'll continue to post photos from Rotorua, but today I decided to post a photo of Auckland. This weekend I took a ferry to Waiheke Island with some friends. It was a wonderful day full of randomness, bush walking, sunshine, rain, laughs, and some really nice and helpful kiwis. I took this photo from the ferry. If you remember my first post from New Zealand, then you'll remember that Auckland's nickname is the "City of Sails." There were so many sail boats out on this beautiful morning it was clear where the name came from.

Made It!


I have made it to Auckland, New Zealand! However, I still don't think I will be able to make regular updates for at least another week. Anyway, we had a wonderful orientation at a regional park north of Auckland for 3 days and yesterday, we arrived in Auckland. I took this image on the back to Auckland after our orientation - I guess you can see why it's called the city of sails.
