Hey everyone! Well here it is, the ending of my semester abroad in Auckland, New Zealand. I've choose a few pictures for the last week or so to show all the good times and goodbyes.
To begin, my absolute favorite picture. It literally just describes New Zealand perfectly- rainy, Auckland is a big city, water, and sheep- sheep everywhere. I took this on top of One Tree Hill in Auckland.
Here is Sarah, a family friend, and I outside the Auckland museum. It's one of the best museums I've ever been in. Each room has a different theme that it talks about and is all decorated to seem like you are in that thing (for example there was a volcano room so there was a giant volcano in the middle of the room).
My flat mates birthday, Elli, was just before Halloween so we all went down to the pub with pink birthday hats it was pretty embarrassing. That's her boyfriend Tobi with her who is visiting right now for a few weeks!
I got to stop and smell the roses :) There was a rose festival in Parnell that I got to go to with Sarah and a few of her friends. Sadly, it was raining so we had our picnic under the canopy of a connivence store, it was so funny. But the weather cleared up a bit for us to enjoy the festival.
Our second to last dinner together! Hitomi, Elli, Tobi, and I at the New York pizza place down the road (it sorta did taste like NY pizza!).
A surprise birthday party for my friend Pablo in Mission Bay (a local beach) with a whole bbq and fun! There was a lot of relaxing, eating, enjoying company, running around, and learning how to play the ukelele. Soooo if you love me a lot and want to buy me a ukelele like this one I'll play you a song! A friend taught me a few things on it and I just really enjoyed messing around!
Part of the whanau (family) being crazy on the beach!
It's been a crazy last month and a half, a lot a really great memories have been made. I'm nervous to leave behind the family I have made here but I know that where ever I go I'll meet new people and make a new family, I have a lot to look forward to in the next month.
My plan is to have 10 days in Australia (5 days in Melbourne, 5 days in Sydney) and then 20 days all over Europe. I'll be staying with friends throughout Europe and having them show me around so it should be a good time! I'll try to keep everyone updated as much as possible but I have a feeling it might be a bit hard, so bare with me!
Please email me and tell me how you all are doing I can't wait to come home and see everyone!
Love and miss you all,
Michele
