Hey Mom + Dad!
Greetings from beautiful New Zealand! Just thought I would fill you in on some of the amazing and beautiful things I have seen. Pictured here is part of the Kura Tawhiti Park. All of the boulders sticking up along the hill side are called tors. They kind of remind me of the statues on Easter Island, but the tors are natural not man made. These towers of rock that rise from the ground are remnants of the limestone layer of rock that was corroded due to high rates of weathering over the past 12,000 years of post-glacial exposure. This weathering has also left a lot of little pock marks on the rock surfaces. These were really beautiful to walk up to and climb on. People were even bouldering on them which was fun to watch. Can’t wait to tell you more!
