Friday night I cooked dinner, and Rachel and I watched a movie on the laptop. Saturday consisted of another trip to the farmer's market, some shopping and then I did some cleaning so that I find my flat more liveable now (the accomodation office delivered a vacuum today so I'm much happier now). Saturday night Rachel and I met up with Robynne and her two new flatmates, Nick and Will (also english med students), and went back to their place for some drinks, more poker and watched rugby on their 72 inch tv.
On Sunday, Nick, Will and I went on a wildlife tour on the pennisula. Man, was it fantastic!! I've never worked so hard to see wildlife before...up and down cliffs...but it was well worth it. It's a bad time of the year to see the Royal Albatross but I did get a glimpse of one. The penguins were definitely the highlight. Check out the pics. I also got some awesome video of the male Sea Lions posturing or practice fighting. It was loads of fun watching them...too bad there were no females around else the show would have been even better. The big guy in the foreground is trying to nap and is annoyed by all the ruckus the younger ones are making. He finally got up and walked down the beach with us as we were leaving. In the whole of New Zealand there's 142 males to 18 females...talk about female choice!
We got back to town about 9 pm, I picked up some Pad Thai on the walk home (my first time eating buying dinner out as it's spendy here) and crashed. I am absolutely exhausted today...guess that means it was a good weekend. :)

I am soo jealous! Your pictures are fabulous, but I'm sure doesn't even come close to what it was like in person. Very cool! The one picture of the rolling hills (I think while you were walking through the pasture) really reminds me of Point Reyes.
these are really nice pictures! I need to see a penguin and a baby fur seal to make my day happy! Love it. I really like the one with an Englishman, some sheep, and...a penguin all in one frame! HAHA!
John kept saying that those pictures couldn't be ones you took, too much like postcards:) Very lovely!
I added a blog here, as I really like the way it is laid out. Check me out if you want.
It is fun to read about your adventures, Kissy Kae. Glad to see you cleaned your room! You really are your mother's daughter. Life seems just a little too rustic for me. The pictures are great too. Love, Aunt Judy
