The second volunteer project went really well! We camped next to the beauiful lake of Rotoiti in the Nelson Lakes National Park. The lake was gorgeous surrounded by pretty green mountains.
For work we did several things:
1) Set traps for cats, possums, mice, and rats
2) Took in old traps that didn't work
3) Counted wasp activity in their nests to see how effective the poison was working
4) Planted trees/ pulled weeds
Those are the main tasks we did over this past week. For our free time we played cards, jumped into the lake of the little pier, tanned, went for walks and just chilled out after a long days work! For the most part the weather was good except for one rainy night/day.
I am now in Franz Joseph about to go kayaking and see this cool glacier. I then go to Queenstown for free days. There I plan to bungee jump!! I am SO nervous... way more nervous than sky diving. I know it will be tons of fun though! I will be sure to upload photos soon but that is all for now! I will let you know how bungee jumping went also...
KIA ORA!
