Exploratory Excursions

Te Uenga, Bay of Islands

NZ All Blacks vs France

If there is one thing you need to know about rugby, it's that the All Blacks always win. This was the first thing I was taught about rugby after my arrival to NZ.

The All Blacks won.

Rock Lobster or "Crayfish"

While 2 full boats of divers scrambled to rinse off all of their gear after a day of diving, I snapped this picture of the lineup of crayfish we snagged throughout the day (one is missing). 

We harvested these guys while diving in the Bay of Islands a couple weeks back. Look at the size of these! They are massive!

And boy, were they tasty.

We didn't have much fun... 

What a fun group of people.

Day 2 - headed to the Canterbury.

Here's how the diving trip started... I contacted the president of BBS Dive Club on Tuesday; heard I could join on Thursday night (I didn't see the email until 10am Friday morning); frantically tried to find a ride up to the Bay of Islands; and this guy pulls through big. Thanks Ken for answering your phone 1.5 hours before take off and letting me bum a ride with you.

I guess the red notification boxes don't represent anything that requires my attention. 

I don't know how I feel about not having any grades available 11 weeks into the semester though...
