so pretty

Amy, Maya and I left Christchurch yesterday and drove down to Oamaru in our new rental car. It's so great to have a car, and it's really fun to drive on the left-hand side of the road.
Tonight we've got plans to see a couple hundred penguins, and next we'll head further south to Dunedin.
Here are a few pictures that Amy has taken (it's easier for her to download pics than me). As you can see, the scenery is gorgeous, and supposedly we haven't even gotten to the pretty part of the island yet!
