In a few short hours I leave for New Zealand. I'm really looking forward to the adventure, differences in culture and general way of live.Lucky for me, I'm already packed and I'm basically blowing time until I need to leave for the airport.
My trip will begin in Wellington where I'll be for a couple days and then I head across Cook Straight via ferry to the Picton and Nelson areas. I'll be here on my own until the 16th at which point I fly to Queenstown to catch up with the crew (Erika, Lance, Davey). We're going out to Milford Sound and then back to Queenstown to catch up with Jeff. With the group of five, we'll make our way up the west side of the southern island and take the ferry back to Wellington. Here we'll catch up with more friends who are arriving (Cindy and Joe) on the 21st and 23rd.
From this point we'll be heading through the north island arriving in Auckland by the 29th, at which point most of us come back to the states.
I'm going to miss my honeypot.
This past weekend was fun! The third annual Berkeley Juggling & Unicycle Festival happened here in Berkeley. There were tons of people around and lots of activities. We also had a bunch of people staying with us. I think all in all everything went pretty smoothly and was a lot of fun.
