My Expereince in New Zealand so far

Kia Ora,
I am in my fourth week here in New Zealand going on my fifth. I am having loads of fun here. I went to some Islands off of Auckland which were called Waiheke and Rangitoto. They have beautiful scenery. The Rangitoto Island is a volcanic island so I climbed to the top and my breathe was taken. My work at Butterfly Creek is also going well. I am getting into a routine there. I take care of pretty much all the animals. The last two weeks I was on the farm and I took care of rabbits and baby goats. The baby goats are crazy and need to watched carefully. I also took care of baby pigs that were from a litter of 17. They are cute. The baby crocs that Butterfly Creek gave birth to are doing extremely well. From last week they grew 3 to 6 grams bigger and their teeth are certainly coming in and coming in fast. I am looking forward to what there is more to bring from this experience. I am planning a trip to Queenstown in late July and I hope to also see Milford sound because I know that it is a gorgeous scenery. I can't wait!!!
Cheers

In New Zealand

Kia Ora Everyone,
I am in New Zealand having a great time so far. My first couple of days here I was in Rotorua. There I had my introduction to New Zealand and some activities. Such were caving, luging and Maori village. Caving was hard but exciting. I saw glow worms that were cool but not very fun if you got stuck by one because they eat you. Luging is like carting but faster and the Maori village was very cool. I got to learn a lot these couple of days and now I am in Auckland getting ready for my internship at Butterfly Creek. I can't wait until I get going but I at least have a day or two to get settled before I start on Tuesday.
Cheers
Siobhan
