Our secret trip consisting of two days and a night was to Invercargill. Its a town about 2 and a half hours southeast of Dunedin, pretty much on the bottom of New Zealand. On the drive over we stopped at an amazing peninsula and a waterfall in the coldest tropical forest I have ever been to. Pictures are posted. We then drove to Invercargill where we went directly to the boathouse and had an beautiful row as the sun set on a part of the New River Estuary in an eight with three kiwi rowers. Being on a flat river was a great change from some of the rough water in Dunedin, even though when we came to out turnaround about 8k from the boathouse it was announced that we would be doing a timed piece back. This morning we rowed again in the below freezing temperatures then had a short erg workout. Before we left we went into the city and saw the original motorcycle from The Worlds Fastest Indian, then went to the beach where some scenes of the movie took place. A really cool trip overall.
