Well, I’m finished in Australia. Went to see the fireworks on Australia Day, saw some more kangaroos, went shopping in Ballarat again, got a delicious dessert called a vanilla slice, went to the University of Melbourne with Imogen for her academic advice day. It was so hard to say goodbye. I had so much fun in Australia!

As for right now, I’m finally in NZ! And it really is the land of the kiwi. Everything has a kiwi bird on it! The hostel is really nice. And clean. That’s a bonus. We did a lot of walking today. Went downtown—to one of them anyway. Bought a few things. Went grocery shopping. Tomorrow we’re planning to go to the beach, provided we can figure out the bus system. Pray for us! I’ll post pictures on facebook as soon as I can. Off to school in a couple days!
