The senior international students who are not doing NCEA exams had the opportunity to explore some of the beauty of the Dunedin area. We had six days to do some exploring into life here. We started off with morning tea at Mrs Boomer’s, and finished with more baking and eating at her house. In between the eating, we went to Orokonui Ecosanctuary where we saw a lot of bird action, but no insomniatic kiwi bird was wandering that day. We had planned to walk up to Flagstaff but the weather forecast was not so favourable for that so we went to Unipol to play badminton with some self-made rules. The weather was perfect for a game of mini golf in Mosgiel on Monday so we had a picnic lunch amongst the holes following the game. On Tuesday, we got to see and hold the cutest lambs in the world, the Swiss valais breed, at Iconic Farm Tours. At the farm, we also got to feed the miniature Galloway cattle, Leila and Elvis. Courage, the uncourageous alpaca, greeted us, but Taffee was the star alpaca who gratefully accepted slices of apple and lots of petting. Super-soft ragdoll cats are also there for cuddling along with a range of other uncuddled birds and animals. We had a great, small group of students and it was wonderful to spend more time with them and to show what Dunedin has to offer.
