To the North Island I go!

I'm heading north soon. I leave Dunedin tomorrow and head north first to tekapo and then to christchurch. I have some pics from earlier in my trip. I haven't had time to go through them all and i'll try and post some of the latest ones a bit later. I really took quite a few glacier pics so those should be good.

Other than that not much is new really, I have been wandering Dunedin yesterday and today. The hostel I'm staying at is quite good, in fact if anyone passed through this way I would recommend it to them. It's even nicer now because their internet is broken meaning that I have free highspeed internet access from a laptop instead of their broken machine.


This is Franz Josef Glacier, from where i took the pic, to the galcier is about 3 km. That tells you it is one huge ass glacier.






It's interesting how quick you can make friends on a trip. I met these people one day and spent about 2 days with them. I had to make my way through the south island a bit faster so i've moved on, but they are a nice bunch and I may run into them again.











Ok one Dunedin Pic because this internet is so fast... here goes ok.. i lied.. two pics.. The first is of the clocktower at Otago Universty the first University established in New Zealand. The second should be 148 London st. (I think.. as far as I could tell anyways)

Justin, I'm so disgustingly envious. It looks amazingly beautiful there ... you bastard! My relatives live in Southern Ontairo, where someone I went to high school with was just arrested for posession of child pornography ... take me with you!
