BACK!

It was an effing trip of a lifetime, people! There are way too many details to explain right now, but I have had the most amazing time of my life.

The north island of NZ is beautiful- we saw beaches and rainforests, glow-worms and rainbows, waterfalls and gysers, geothermal lakes and 90-mile beach. We stayed the night in Wellington, Palmerston North x 2 (with Nanette's friends), Rotarua, Auckland, Paihia, Sam's farm, Auckland (with Nanette's friend Ben), and Christchurch. We also visited many other places and I can confidently say now that I know much of the North Island. If you ever get the chance, go there, I can't even describe how amazing it is to drive up to Mount Doom, or to stand in the same woods as Frodo and exclaim "Get off the road!" I haven't even uploaded pictures onto my computer yet, but when they get up I will begin to put some of the better ones up. Between the three of us who went (my American flattmates Nanette and Laura) we have over 1000 pictures. So therefore they will not appear here. However, once back in Canada, please bring me some food and a comfy chair and I will talk you through all of them.

Will be back later, but also wanted to let you all know I'm back and I'm safe.

Love Rebecca

Hey former roommate,
Is the North Island still good if you fought to stay awake through Lord of the Rings 1 and 2 and didn't bother with the third? Actually, I'm sure it is. You must be having the most awesome time. My current roommate moved out for the summer, makes me happy because she's a slob. So I'm here in Edmonton with my lasers and molecules for the summer.
