Week 2 in Dunedin has been such a dream! I am so sad to say that we will be leaving on the 17th. In the past two weeks we have been here I have learned so much about this beautiful town and its history. Just a couple of days ago, we went on the Otago Rail trail which is one of the most difficult group activities we will be doing on this trip. Having been scared for months about it, I can now say it was a very fun experience. I was very nervous about the duration (22 miles) and the intensity of the rail trail. However, after completing the trail I was very proud of myself and all my classmates for being able to do it. The Otago rail trail is something I will always remember and I cannot wait to see what else this trip has in store for us. (Submitted on January 30, 2024)
