It's been a week and I still can't believe I'm on the other side of the world. I went for a run yesterday around a gold mine (yep there's a gold mine at the top of our driveway) and I saw a rainbow. I didn't have my camera, but it was something I just enjoyed for myself. I'M IN NEW ZEALAND!!
Everything is so green even though it's winter. There is a nice mix of trees with pine needles, kind of like a Christmas tree and others that look like palm trees. Our backyard is filled with an array of small plants and I think there might even be a lemon tree growing on the side of the house.
Our house is on a hill and the only one at the end of the dead-end street.
The town is filled with shops on both sides of the road. There are small clothing stores, shoe stores and of course small restaurants. Everyone is really nice so I'm trying to unlearn all the bad habits I picked up in New York.
Jen and I went to Waihi Beach earlier in the week and it was gorgeous. It was odd seeing pine trees so close to the beach. The sand was a mixture of black and white and there were beautiful sea shells everywhere.
Pictures to come!
