Free Weekend - July 21 to 22

Some of the group at Milford Sound

We are back from our adventures over a three day free weekend where we explored various places like the Queenstown/Milford Sound area,  Dunedin, the North Island, and Lake Tekapo.

Our journey continues tomorrow with a three day trip up the east coast toward Kaikoura.  We will get to learn about the Greening Waipara Project as well as have the unique experience of staying at a Marae.  To take advantage of better weather, this trip may get hooked up directly with our four day West Coast Trip.  In either case, the blog will not get updated until we are back in Lincoln. 

Cheers, Mark and Meryl
