Finding My Fix: Chronicles of a Travel Junkie

Pictures from the fieldtrip. Unfortunately my battery died so I didn’t get any pictures of the seals. While Jency and I were talking to Peter, he told us a story. Apparently Prince Charles, who happens to have a degree in archaeology from one of the prestigious universities in England came to New Zealand and visited one of the universities here.

He asked one student, “so what do you study?”

“Archaeology.”

Then Charles asked, “What are you studying that for? There’s no archaeology in New Zealand.”

To which the student replied, “What do you think the Maori are, you idiot?”

This hill is an old post-Euro Maori fortification, or pa.

All that’s left of the original swamp

At the second site, the hearth of the oldest house in New Zealand…

He reminds me a bit of my Grandfather
