(As usual) I left school at this Friday (3. June, sry guys I had to study ;-))in the lunch break, rented a car and drove with Anna, Anja and Ivan to Invercagil. There we bought spaghetti, tomato sauce and other things for breakfast, such as coffee, bread and jam. Just in time we arrived at the ferry terminal to check in and later we could go on the boat, which can carry up to ten tonnes or 100 passengers with luggage. It took us almost one hour to set over to Stewart Island, the first destination on our weekend trip. It was there at the backpacker when I realised that I forgot my camera. On this point I want to apologise for the poor quality of the pictures, which I took with my smartphone, and say thank you to Ivan, who took really good pictures during this trip (I will highlight them).
It rained the whole saturday morning so we didn't take a longer walk, we took a bus tour instead. Althoughon the island are only 27km of roads, almost every one of the 300 permanent habitants have a own car. We were driven around and had a look to the nearst beaches, which are beautiful. Our tour guide also told us about the daily life here and why "smith" is a typical (maori) name here.
However, due the rainy weather we decided to leave the island on the next day's morning and head up to the catlins.
In the next days my report from the catlins will follow, but I just haven't found the time lately, because I study hard (or sth like that). My next report will be presented from the north island, where the weather should be a bit better and warmer.
Cheers
