Why hello again,

I'm in the middle of a two-week mid-semester break at the moment. St. George is once again very quiet, but one of my good friends stayed this time, so we've been having fun. We spent yesterday exploring Wellington. We hiked up Mt. Victoria, which is basically a big hill overlooking the city. Unfortunately we managed to go up there while the summit area was off-limits for some kind of construction, most annoying. Oh well we got some good views of the city anyway. After that we went down Mt. Victoria and walked through part of the city we don't normally see much of in order to get to the zoo. It was quite a nice zoo, with very active monkeys and Malayan sun bears. The kangaroos were jumping around quite a bit too, and the ostriches were looking quite threatening as they patrolled their enclosure. I got to see a kiwi, too. It was bigger than I expected. It's body was about the size of a good-sized rabbit's, with long legs and a long beak.

Anyway, until next time,
