Here's an overview of our travel plans for New Zealand. First, we'll fly from Sydney to Queenstown, in the south of the South Island. We'll travel this route with the campervan and van. South Island: Pick up the campervan with five girls, Ben Lomond…
December 5th, two days before departure. One last surf lesson at Bondi Beach (pronounced bon-dai), in Sydney's east, about an hour's bus ride away. Bought a new sunproof hat.

Oct 17: In the morning, I was a bit rushed to the pharma tutorial because I left a bit late, oops. The tutorial itself was fine, but took quite a while. After fifteen minutes, we had already divided up the group work, so after that, everyone did…

Early morning, early morning, around 4 a.m. We'd left a little late, so we walked briskly to the train, with a bit of a sprint at the end. We made it, though it wouldn't have been a disaster if we had to catch the next one...
