Classes are finished, finals are over and we have spent our last night in our dorms. I am currently sitting in my hostel bed in Auckland, New Zealand, getting ready to go on my final adventure down under. Although not much has happened in the last week, I thought I'd give you an update on my final days at Bond and in Gold Coast in general. I had two finals, both of which were easier than anticipated. We spent the rest of the time at the beach, getting our last bits of tan, shopping, and eating at our favorite restaurants one last time. I also spent a fair amount of time in Brisbane, enjoying the sights, climbing to the top of the Story Bridge, and trying Greek food (which I loved so don't hate on me for not trying new things). Saying goodbye to the beautiful town that I've fallen in love with was seriously difficult, I will definitely shed some tears as we leave to fly home next week. One of the big things I did this final week was to have one final 'musement park Monday, except it was on a Tuesday and I didn't go alone for once. Alex, Cameron and I took on Wet 'n Wild, the waterpark in Gold Coast. It was kind of rainy and cold, but that meant the lines weren't too long and we were able to not sweat to death in the process. All in all, it was a good way to end the fun before stressing about packing, which was a whole different issue.
Yesterday we kissed the Gold Coast goodbye, packed up our luggage and got ready for our big New Zealand adventure. Our flight went incredibly smoothly and we picked up our rental car with no problem. Although we ended up driving in circles for a while to find a parking spot, everything has gone smoothly and we finished our night with some amazing gelato! Tomorrow we start really seeing the sights and will be busy from then on, including mud baths, climbing volcanos, bungee jumping and touring Cadbury World! I'm going to try and update the blog as often as possible to make it easier for everyone, so keep checking back!
Love you all and miss you like crazy. See you soon!!! <3 <3 <3
