To Long Beach and Beyond

Well, I guess I'm really bad at keeping up. There's just so much going on all the time that I never upload photos. Here are a handful of pics from the last couple of weeks.

Long beach exploration

Tommy and I had a lot of fun run on the sand:

The Rave Cave! This thing could easily fit 300 + people. Meaning, I can't wait to have some bonfires in here once it warms up a bit.

This is at the back of the cave, somehow I managed to take a picture of Tommy taking a picture. My shutter speed was set at .5 seconds and you can see my flash in the bottom of the picture. Then I accidentally moved the camera and at the same time Tommy took a photo of the back of the cave. Pretty cool pic in my opinion.

Heading back to Dunedin, looking at the peninsula:

Ginger and I went on the Speight's (local brewery) factory tour. It was an impulse decision so we had an hour before the tour started. Wandering up the hill we stumbled across tons of sick graffiti. This one was huge, and note the burning couch (a popular thing to do on my street).

Sandfly Bay, where we got to chill with the sea lions and watch penguins climb an intensely steep hill.

Driving along the Peninsula:

And looking back at Dunedin:

St Claire Beach, second weekend in NZ.

Jaffa race on the steepest street in the world:

Jaffa's are kind of like gobstoppers but with a chocolate core. You can enter the race by paying for a Jaffa (or as many as you want), it's like the lottery because every Jaffa you pay for gets assigned a number. The first five Jaffa's to finish are the winners, as you can imagine this was one of the craziest things I've ever seen. Lots of candies make it over the net too.

Hope you enjoy the photos.

And I will leave you with a message that someone taught me this weekend:

We have lost the face to face connection...when communicating with others it is about respect not expect.

Cheers
