Doing Wellington

Hello!

It has been quite some time since I have been able to connect to wifi and awake enough to post. Now I am in Wellington, showered, eaten, still haven't slept, but ready to do some typing!

This little plastic bag (me) has been floating through some pretty freaking awesome landscapes and I could not comprehend life, let alone BLOG about it. But before my memory runs out of storage, I must document all the places I have gone!

First of all.....

I’m getting really used to this sight

for 5-8 hours at a time

Let's see, where did I leave off...?

Queenstown

the greenest little city on the water, made of pub crawls and waterfalls

Fork Farm/ Romney Sheep

the mainland money-maker

Wanaka

lunch stop, but with views like this, who thinks they aren't dreaming?

Aoraki

"Cloud Piercer." Quite possibly the most humbling hike I have ever been on. 

Lake Pukaki

A next level color of blue that I still cannot find words for

Church of the Good Shepherd

A place where 30 strangers could walk in, sit down, and pray and it being the most appropriate action. When I opened my eyes and we all were crying, I felt at home.

Akaroa/ Onuku Zenbu Farm

stargazing teepees, sheep, chickens, and ocean views AKA my honeymoon destination

This is the life I have been dreaming about and I wish I could tell you how it tastes, but I am having a hard time believing it is real. 

Poetry has become my main form of expression and I am MILKING this new talent...

I can’t understand my teachers with accents so thick.

I’m on the other side of the world, and not a bit homesick.

The water’s clean, grass is green.

I haven’t met a person who has acted kind of mean.

I’ll explore the day, and get lost at night

You’d be surprised by how many stories my legs could write

Sore from climbing, scarred from scratches

In Doubtful Sound sand flies ate me by the batches.

 5:30 am adventure? I’ll be ready let’s go.

I haven’t slept much so I might walk a little slow.

Let’s talk about your dreams and whether or not they have come true.

Like how I have swam in waters made of magical shades of blue.

Mom, if you're reading this, send detergent, 'cause I'm smelling a ton

But other than that I'm doing Wellington!
