Rain

I came to the southern hemisphere in the hopes of getting out of the Portland rain. As it turns out it's been sunny in Portland pretty much since I left (so I've heard) and been raining on us for most of the days we've been in the south island. Oh well.

We stayed in Queenstown with a fellow couchsurfer and had a great time. That town is super touristy, but beautiful nonetheless.


We had a great view from the place we were staying as well:



From there we drove to Milford. It was pouring rain the entire time we were there, but arguably more beautiful as a result.



We stayed with some kayak instructors in a compound of caravans:



We're in Dunedin now. MGD is really expensive in this country:


And it's raining. Again. We went out last night and had a really good time. This is kind of a wild university town and the culture is much different here than it's been anywhere else in the country. I think from here we're going to Mt. Cook, then Christchurch. More coming in a few days.
