Hey guys!
I wanted to go a little more in-depth about student-directed travel. We drove from Wellington to a town north of Raglan and we stayed there for four days. We worked on getting into a groove with cooking and our group roles. There was also a lot of free time with opportunities to go kayaking, laying out in the sun, playing in the waves and exploring the cute little town of Whitianga. All nine of us stayed in one dorm so we really got to know each other and got close. The highlight for me was a little expedition we went on with Cave Cruzers, a local tour boat place. We explored caves, their history, and went snorkeling. The amount of fish out there was crazy and the water was so clear! I hope everyone back home is doing well. We are really forming and getting to know each other as a group.
Cheers!
