Written by South Pacific Students, Asa & RJ<\/strong><\/p>\n

We drove from Raglan down to Wellington over a few days while doing a practice run of our student directed travel. We spent a day in a very culturally significant museum in Wellington before we departed towards the South Island.<\/p>\n

What have been the three highlights of the week?<\/h3>\n

🌎 The first highlight of the week was on our first day of the practice student directed travel. We had a zero day where we didn\u2019t do anything at all, which may sound a little boring but trust me everyone enjoyed it.<\/p>\n

😳 The second highlight of the week was getting a major adrenaline rush when we took a leap of faith off of the top of a 20ft pole on to a trapeze bar.<\/p>\n

🪨 The third highlight were all of the beautiful sights we saw while caving which was a very challenging but rewarding experience for everyone!<\/p>\n

Growth comes with challenge – what are some of the challenges you’ve overcome this week?<\/h3>\n

The challenge this week was having to figure out how to do everything ourselves with little help from our OEs.<\/p>\n

What’s coming up next week?<\/h3>\n

Next week we will be beginning our adventure backpacking and kayak packing through the Abel Tasman national park! We are looking forward to seeing some beautiful sights and amazing wildlife!<\/p>\n
