Saint Michael's College in Colchester, VT is my home, but this semester (fall 08) I am in New Zealand at Victoria University of Wellington. I'm going on adventures and studying in my downtime ;-)

Invercargil

Tonight I am staying in a hostel in Invercargil. I started today in the rain again and stayed inside as much as possible. We had a busy morning as we were planning to leave at 12 to go to Balclutha. I made a few more journals while Diana and Keith went to cover the veggie garden from the frost that was supposed to be coming. We then had a lunch of samosas, last night's tea (which happened to be tea again today) and were soon on our way out of the Catlins. I was sad to be leaving but I seriously can not wait for Laurie to come tomorrow! In town we had to run some errands and soon it was 2:15 and they were on their way up to Dunedin leaving me behind to catch my bus. We were in a small cafe so I stayed there until 4 when they closed and I waited in the i-site until 4:35 when my bus came. The ride here was a pretty long and slow 2 hours, but I am now here and my bed is paid for and made. I have called ahead for a taxi to come at 6:45 a.m. tomorrow (UGH!) and I'll catch my plane at 7:30. It takes about 2 hours to get back up to Wellington, and Coco will be waiting there when I arrive a bit after her. AMAZING things are in store for us in the coming days, so I think I'll leave it here for now.
