Sunset on the way to Queenstown...looked like a water colored sky

Ice bar!
One day last week, Graham and I went to Baldwin Street, just about 1 km from our flats. It is world's steepest street, and I believe it!! There were so many tourists all over the street, but I really can't imagine driving your car up it, it is way too steep for that!!
Worlds steepest street!
They had steps instead of sidewalks because it was so steep!!
As we are getting closer and closer to the mid-semester break, lots of papers and assignments are piling up. Last weekend I stayed in Dunedin and focused on writing an education and an environmental science paper. Very exciting stuff. Saturday, we managed to squeeze in some fun, and Graham, Michael and I headed to a waterfall just a couple of miles away. We also did some exploring of glow-worm caves, but couldn't see them because it was daytime. After the waterfall, we found a trail across the river and decided to follow it to see where it went. It turned into a very well maintained mountain biking trail that went up to the top of a hill. It was a great adventure and really beautiful! Definitely a much needed studying break!
Last night, our complex had an ocean-side bon fire! Since Dunedin is on the ocean, we decided to take advantage of the warmest day yet (about 55 degrees!) and a beautifully clear night! It was a great complex event (6 6-person flats) and it wasn't even too cold!
One more week of classes, then off to Sydney and Cairns for some rest and relaxation in Australia for vacation!
