Day 3

Today we listed to three lectures about sustainability, and the Maori people, then we split for lunch and reassembled at the Otago Museum. It was a lovely museum with a very large collection. It boasted the worlds most Moa artifacts. The Moa was a 10 foot bird that lived in New Zealand until it was hunted to extinction. They had a few skeletons on display. These things were HUGE! I don't know why I didn't get a picture. We got a guided tour and then returned to the hotel for another lecture. This time it was our trip leader, who basically gave a talk about how if he finds us sleeping on the bus he's going to hit us. We're on a bus almost everyday, traveling between towns. I don't know how I won't sleep. So we'll see how this goes. I had a pretty terrible dinner at a Chinese restaurant after we discovered all the restaurants we were planning on going were reservation only. I was under the impressions that most of our meals would be provided for us, but it is not looking like the case. Pretty much only breakfast is given to us, which sucks. I don't really want to spend money on food, especially when I could be buying ATVing trips or something. I also need some warmer clothes. So its either eating, or wooltights keep me warm on the glacier. I don't know. I went an bought myself a jar of peanut butter, and a few refrigerated meat pies. I'll try and smuggle food out of breakfast, and at least eat lunch in my room instead of out as much as I can. Meh.
