Flattin it up

Sara and I just moved into our respective flats. Not a 5 star, but it should be good enough! The past few days we have been all over this city and beyond. Went on the Taieri Gorge train tour out to central Otago to see the mountains and hill country. This is such a beautiful country! Unlike the US, once you get past town there is NOTHING around, no roads no power lines, just nothing! We also decided to hike up the worlds steepest street (Baldwin St.) For every 1 m forward you go 3 m up! Needless to say that was a once in a lifetime thing and I see no need to do it ever again. We start orientation sometime this week and will be able to see what classes are like over here. Hope all is well at home!

PS- Just for a little humor:
Sara and I almost missed our flight to SFO in Minneapolis, so we had to sprint to make our 13 hr Air New Zealand flight. Due to the shortness of the lay over, we lost our luggage. When we finally made it to Dunedin the cab we took to our hotel hit a pole, and the cabbie just laughed. Needless to say this has been an experience of a lifetime!
