Surrealism at its Best

Have you ever had that feeling that what you're looking at or what you're doing is just so incredibly amazing that it can't possibly be real, it can't possibly be your life actually happening?

I've been getting that feeling a lot here lately. And I love it. I've been seeing so many amazing sights, and just doing things I never thought I would do! I'm starting to think one year of New Zealand just isn't going to be enough. Maybe a job here after I graduate? But I suppose it's a bit too early to be thinking about that...

Anyways, I had some more adventures today! We went down the Otago Peninsula, and it was gorgeous! We had perfect weather, and the scenery is just unreal. The colors everywhere are just so vivid and unexpected.

So after staring at the scenery for awhile, Sara and I decided we needed get up close and personal with some sheep. We made our friendliest "Baaa's," but those sheep just didn't want to know us. Perhaps another day they'll be more sociable!

Next we went to the Albatross Colony all the way at the end of the Peninsula. There were more seagulls than albatross, but they were kind of cool. The best was getting to stare out at the ocean, what an amazing sight (complete with lighthouse)!

After that, our quick tour of the peninsula was done, and I got to enjoy a lovely, scenic ride back to our flat, with a quick grocery stop on the way. Where I tried this Nestle Aero bar, that was weird. But really delicious. But anyways, back to the point about the scenic ride. I enjoyed it from a backseat/mattress in a super sketch van with curtains that will still run when the keys fall out. Because that occasionally happens. Can definitely put that on the list of things I never thought I would do! Nonetheless, Vanette, as her former owner affectionately named her, got us there and back safely, in a way that was much more fun than the average van ride!

And before I forget, here are almost all of my flatmates! We were heading out to a circus themed birthday party, and managed to grab this shot! Best flat ever? I like to think so. 

Wish you all could be here!
