Tautuku
Tautuku Bay, Catlins, OtagoThis is the first decent pic of the place I've found it ages... *shakes head* Well, online anyway; I have a brilliant one stuck up next to me. :-)
Last year I went with my classmates to a camp just off to the right, in the trees, and spent a week doing outdoorsy stuff (our group did the most walking of anyone, lol - we were exhausted by the end). On our second-to-last day we did a five hour trek from the beach up to the hill to where the photo was taken, then back up north (the pic's looking south) and inland in a massive circle. The final hour was through gorgeous (wet) NZ bush and mud that was so deep we sank in almost to our knees. It was fantastic.
:-D I would upload some actual pictures from then, but this computer is agonizingly slow and I'm afraid the power supply couldn't handle it. *scrunches up nose* Silly thing.
Don't you just love camps??? (And I can just hear people moaning, even now... :-) I love them, anyway. Even if my bestish friend managed to stick her foot through a cargo net and we all got tired out and bitchy. It was fun. Sitting around a campfire with your mates at 11:30 at night, listening to murmurs from nearby tents and the crackle of logs bursting in the flames... Everything looks better by firelight. Noodles are a million times more satisfying if you're eating them with a plastic spoon in the bush - and need I even start about toasted marshmallows? Heaven on Earth! ^ - ^

I should really be studying right now, so I'll bottle up all my nostalgia for a bit. *deep breath* Exam on Wednesday.
Formal writing, here I come...
