I was pretty lazy, but I finally made my way to the Otago Settlers Museum. It's a fairly new museum, open maybe a year. They did a fabulous job and have so many original artifacts. I got to dress like someone crossing on a boat from Britain.

I saw this game:
Love it!
But my favorite room was the Smith Gallery. I found it quite amazing that it was the Smith gallery because I would want this in my house:
Every wall was full of paintings and or pictures. These people are the original settlers of the area that came from Britain. Every one of them. I would love tò have a room with pictures off all my ancestors.
Next I was daring and drove the Otago Peninsula. Elizabeth, my former student, mapped out her favorite places for me and I followed. Narrow, winding roads concentrating to stay on the left side.
My legs are worn out. My feet aching, so I decided to have an early night. I'm hanging out packing my bags for my flight back to Auckland tomorrow. I've loved the parts of the South Island I've seen, but I'm looking forward to returning to the Macs. I'm not the most social of people, but I have to admit, I've been bored in my downtime and am probably annoying Andrea and Roger with a bunch of text messages and I miss the girls.
