This post was unfairly short, but now it isn't.
This post has been edited because it was too short the first time, and my Internet crapped out in the Great Auckland Power Outage of 2006. But now it's back and slow as ever. Hooray Telecom. I can't wait for fast Internet.
Well, I'm back in Auckland. I left Dunedin on the 6th and hitched to Oamaru, and saw some penguins. After four hours of trying to hitch the next day outside Oamaru, I gave in and bought a bus pass to Picton. I stopped over in Christchurch at night and didn't bother to stick around for the sunrise. Fortunately weather was beautiful on the South Island throughout all this, so I had no problems. Picton was a charming town, nestled right in the Queen Charlotte Sound, which is quite pretty. I did some walking on some nearby trails and it was very reminiscent of the Abel Tasman track, except I was looking out to a sound and not to a bay. The ferry over to Wellington was calm too, which is unusual - the Cook Strait is usually violent, but I got lucky.
Wellington was OFF THE HOOK. Perfect weather. I got to meet some of the Arcadians who go to Vic U and they were pretty awesome. It was really good to get in touch with them to party around the city - huge thanks to Julia for keeping me in their loop with text messages. I can't believe I was only there for three days with the massive amount of things I did. I had an hour long conversation with the archivist at the New Zealand Film Archives about DJ theory and techniques. Wellington was great because it was 1) awesome and 2) small. Yeah, Saturday night was nuts, watching the All Blacks game and then the England World Cup game. I was in Wellington for three days and slept for a total of about six hours. I took an overnight bus back to Auckland and it's 7.45 AM now. Now it's like 5.00 PM since I slept through the power outage.
Man, the weather was great the whole time, traveling was great, not being in Auckland was great, but I'm glad I'm back, I'm ready to tear apart some finals and go back home to the States and drink liquor with Suite DB. Two weeks left! I can't wait.
Pictures are up. (They're not, but by the time you read this they should be).
