Weekend

Last weekend was really nice even if the Saturday was a very relaxed day when I didn't do much.
The weather was horrible, so raainy that some streets of Mosgiel were fludded. When I went to town with Mike we passed some shops on the main street and in front of most shops were sand bags to stop the water from fludding the shops. But it didn't help very much, because some shops were under water ;)
On the way back we noticed smoke in the sky that didn't look like clouds and we were curious to find out what it was.
Unforunately it was someone's house that was on fire :( The weird thing was that the flame were meter high althought it was raining.

On Sunday morning I took the bus to town and met Sophie and her friend Alina from Christchurch to go to the Otago Museum. It was interesting but also a little bit boring but we had a lot of fun taking photos with a crocodile ;)
Then we went to the main attraction of the museum: the butterfly exhibition.
It is a big room with a tropical forest in it and you can see hundrets of butterflys flying around. They were so beautiful in every color. The most beautiful one was a big black and blue butterfly.
There were little feeding stations were you could watch the butterflys slurp bananas and oranges. We also learned that some butterflys have some weird prefernces about their food eg. tears, sweat and blood.
But butterflys weren't the only animals in the really hot (28°C) forest. They were turtles, little birds that were running around like chicks and ants.
LLuckily two butterflys landed on me and I could take a picture with them but you had to be very careful not to touch the wings.
