It's been ages since I've written a blog entry, partially because the last time I was actually in the mood to write an entry blogspot had crashed so I couldn't do it. Life has been good out here on the other side of the world. I have officially been here for 4 months and I have 2.5 months left.
SO in the last little while I havent been up to much. Sam came to Hamilton for 5 days to visit which was great. We went to the hobbiton which is one of the film sets of the Lord of the Rings. Saw the Party tree, the mill, the tavern, middle earth you know? I didn't I have never seen any of the movies or read the books, and as interesting and as beautiful as it was I probably never will. Although I did watch 20 mins of the first one immediatly after to see the part that was filmed at the hobition.
This weekend I went down to Auckland to say goodbye to Sam she left to go back to the States, I'll see her in August for a week before coming home.
I dont have anything specifically planned for the next few weeks, its slightly depressing because the people that I have become the closest to here all go home in the next few weeks. Next weekend is the Queens weekend and so I have Monday off. We are planning on hiking Mount Pirongia which is the mountain that I see everytime I drive out of the driveway. Its a two day hike and you can see the East and West Coast from the top. It really depends on what the other girls are wanting to do and what we have time to do, and if the hut is available. So I'm not sure if we'll be going all the way to the top or just the 1st or 2nd view points.
