Most importantly, we all got good sleep our first night!
The weather gods have been kind to us and we enjoyed a beautiful sunny morning getting to know each other and bond over low ropes team building activities. We successfully tackled many challenges from speed ball to cross town traffic, and are just really happy we got untangled from our human Gordian Knot.

After lunch, it was lecture time with housekeeping items, and an overview of conserving biodiversity and what it means to different stakeholders (e.g., farmers, landowners, biologists, etc.).

| Ah, we can get used to tea time : ) |
After dinner, we experienced some Kiwiana -
Pavlova,
L&P, and
Flight of the Conchords. Then we played Heads Up (charades) before going on to town to check out the nightlife.

Tomorrow, we will meet some of the stakeholders and get to work with our first conservation project!
Until then, Sweet Dreams All, m : )
