All I Wanna Do is Ride Around Rhonda

My knee is healing fine. I learned that RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) is great for healing. To comfort myself, I stayed in bed with a hot water bottle, went out for some beer, and went to a nice day spa for a 2.5 hour luxurious treatment! Then I found out that HARM (Heat, Alcohol, Running, Massage) is not so good for healing. Oops. Well, I think I averaged out OK.. I'm still not running, and taking a break from skiing for a few more days. But then, it's ON!

Look at this beautiful running scenery...

I went to Dunedin for a few days to get checked for breast cancer. Everything turned out fine and I have nothing to worry about. These screenings are important... In the words of my sister: "Feel Your Boobies!"

The drive to Dunedin was most phenomenal. The fact that I couldn't take many pictures to preserve the memory made me realize how lucky I was to have the experience at all. 

That water was dam blue

Finally! Blocked by sheeps!

I ended up stopping by Oamaru, where there are many Yellow Eyed Penguins, but didn't take the tour to see them. I continued down to Dunedin and stopped to see the Moeraki Boulders. But before I did that I got distracted by some very, very cute aminals.

Tee Hee!

I should send this into http://www.cuteoverload.com/ to get a zoom in on that tongue!

NYAM NYAM NYAM!

Moeraki Boulders

That should be me!

That is me.

At a mall in Dunedin. What is missing here...??

Could it be...

The most awesomest THINGS in the world?!

Marlon, what are you doing so far from home?! Go back before Auntie Sirena gets worried! I'll see you in September!!

Larnach Castle and Gardens (Otago Peninsula)

I must be very priveleged because I found NZ's only castle to be pretty small and modest.

The view, however...

made me want to swing braided hair over the edge of the balcony.

I seee youuu

I went back home and brought some Root Beer back with me. Apparently it's an American thing that not many people have tried... I had to introduce my flat-mates to it... Root Beer Floats for dessert!

Tim: Lovin' It!                               Fiona: Not so much.

I got a flat tyre the other day and changed it myself! I was proud of that. Other than that, there's not much else to report. Have a wonderful weekend, where ever you are, what ever you do.
