Almost a month in...still loving it

Can't quite believe I've been here for nearly a month now, how time flies! I'm still having an extraordinary time and constantly meeting new people and trying new experiences.
Since my last post I've got a job cleaning for a lovely couple, tried my first proper Spanish sangria and tortilla, visited red rocks, planned a trip to the south island, eaten yet more free food and met a whole host of new wonderful people (some of who are pictured to the left and below).

 As mentioned on Saturday a group of 13 of us took the bus 20 minutes to just outside Wellington and some incredible scenery (and geology). After walking for around an hour, admiring fantastic views and climbing up many rocks we reached the 'Red rocks' (pictured to the right). These rocks are pillow lavas formed 200 million years ago under the ocean and they contain iron oxides making them red. On and around these rocks were loads of seals, lying out catching the rays from the unexpected sun.

On the walk back we were fortunate enough to see a full bright rainbow right across the bay; a great finish to a fantastic day out.
I'm looking forward to more great scenery on my trip to the south island during spring break with Lexi, Lisa and Juliette which we are currently in the process of planning. 
I hope all is well back in the UK, if the rest of the year goes as fast as the past month I'll be back in no time!
