Invercargill

This past weekend I had a nice trip down to Invercargill, New Zealand's southernmost city.  Poor Invercargill.  It has such a bad rep around here!  But, I assure you it's a nice place to visit. The population there is just a smidge more than Binghamton, but my hometown definitely feels a lot bigger!

On Saturday I hopped on a bus heading south.  The sunset was fantastic!

I'd have to say it's a fair toss up as to what the highlight of the weekend was:  I indulged in terrific Indian (the best I've had in NZ, by far!), visited the tuatara (neat reptiles housed at the Southland Museum and Art Gallery) and strolled through Queen's Park and the bird aviary.

Next trip - Christchurch for the marathon!
