Choo Choo!

This weekend I went on the Tranzscenic railway through the Southern Alps with two of my intern friends, Ali and Jordan. The scenery was breathtaking. The water was clear and blue, the mountains were snow-capped and the sheep and cows were frolicking. Absolutely stunning. In the lower altitude parts east and west of the mountains, everything was still green, but in the middle it was snow covered. It reminded us of Christmas, even though it's the middle of June.

Greymouth was a nice place, but there wasn't a whole lot to do there so I'm glad I only stayed there for an hour. I took the train back the same day and I sat on the other side so I got a slightly different view.

I spent the rest of the weekend relaxing with and talking to my flatmates, friends, and family. Earlier this afternoon (Sunday, for me) I showed my Pakistani friend how to make pancakes! She is going to show me how to make something soon, so I'm excited for that. Then I went to the Restart mall in the city center and walked around a bit. There weren't very many people around because today was a little colder.

For the next four days I will be working, then on Friday I will go to Dunedin! I don't have much of anything planned yet, but I will be visiting the Cadbury chocolate factory!
