Things I'm Going to Miss: the view

I'm really going to miss the fact that pretty much where ever you are in NZ, there is a great view. Moreover, the awesomeness of the view increases exponentially as you increase your elevation. 

Basically, this is how my Tuesday afternoon went:

Jono (a Kiwi), to me: Ever been to Mt. Cargill

Me: no

Jen, my flatmate, American: yes

Jono: want to go?

Me: uhh... sure?

And then Jono drove us to the top of Mt. Cargill, which is by my standards, a mountain (hello, it's Mount Cargill!) and a hill by Kiwi standards. It was a pretty crappy day, cloudy and a bit chilly, but in true NZ fashion, the views were still spectacular. 

Looking out toward the ocean.

I just can't look away. Like most pictures, the camera just doesn't capture the detail of these views.

Looking down at Dunedin.

Looking out at the peninsula
 
The countryside

And, Jono. I though he was going to fall over the edge.

  2. I went to the countryside of Madrid today for "class" and wished you could have been there. It was gorgeous and I thought of how beautiful it must to live there all the time. I came home and this was your blog! We are meant for each other :)
