Wow ok so I haven't updated my blog for a couple of weeks as its all been a bit hectic on the kiwi experience! Since I last wrote I've done the whole of new zealand including... Sea kayaking in cathedral cove, black water rafting in waitomo, luging in rotorua, skydiving in taupo, white water rafting in river valley, a helicopter ride followed by a glacier hike in franz josef, 2 canyon swings a 134m bungy jump and a bit more luging in Queenstown... Oh and a lot (...

I'm sat in Melbourne airport with no much to do so I thought I'd write something! Met a few really sound guys yesterday.
