These pictures were taken in Hamilton on January 15, 2005.

This is a view of the University of Waikato campus, coming up from the Orchard Park Cottages where I stayed for the first few weeks. I came up that driveway then turned at the top of the stairs and took that picture.
Continuing into campus, here is the view coming up toward the library, which is the large building whose corner you can see just opposite K-block. If you squint, you can see a red dot on the ground. The dots form a path that navigates through the centre of campus.
This is a first look at downtown Hamilton, Victoria Street. Later on down the street, there will be malls and such.
This is the Waikato River, which runs through the centre of town. There are paths along the river bank for walking and biking. There is also a boat tour, which I have not done yet. There are some lovely views of the river; this is just a first look.
