Last Day in New Zealand!

Well I'm doing all of my last minute packing and preparing to head back to the US tomorrow! It's pretty funny because I will be traveling back in time. My flight leaves Auckland at 3:30pm on November 15th and I arrive in Sacramento at 10:20am on November 15th.

It's been hard saying goodbye to everyone, but I had a fun last few days and now I am ready to get back home!

The other night I went to this fascinating art show with some of my friends called Art in the Dark.
Here's the website!

It was a beautiful exhibit will all light up art pieces that were displayed in a park in the darkness. I took some fun abstract night photos there:





















Here are a few more abstract night photos from a restaurant I ate at last night:





Then yesterday I finally made it to the zoo. I really wanted to see a real live kiwi bird before I left and yesterday I accomplished the mission! I was actually very impressed with the Auckland Zoo, there were much more animals than I thought there would be. I had a great time taking pictures!


















































































Now back to packing, can't wait to see everyone back at home!
