Overlander

On Wednesday I took the Overlander (long-distance train) from Hamilton to Wellington. The country is very dry and yellow at the moment. I tried taking photos from inside the train, which didn't work too well. So I spent some time out on the observation deck, which was fun. Here are some photos.

It's mostly good

I have one week left to go before I finish at my summer job. Actually, I only have four days left to work because it is Waitangi Day this coming Wednesday. On Friday I received a bottle of wine and a box of chocolates for being such a good sport working over the Xmas/ New Year period and even volunteering to work extra long days over that period (even though it turned out I wasn't needed to work all those hours because of a supply delay).

Next Saturday I will be flying up to Hamilton to visit my friend. I'm really looking forward to it! I'll be there for a few days and then I will catch the train back to Wellington.

I will have four days (two of those a weekend) between my trip to Hamilton and the day I start my course. Everything's moving so fast!
