We left Westport early this morning ready to get our costumes sorted for our party later that day! It felt very english this morning as it was chucking it down with rain and I decided to take a short walk to try and see some seals, this ended very badly as I had no waterproof clothes on. So soaking wet clothes and not managing to see any seals at all we were back on the bus and organising what costumes we were going to make. Having stopped off at a place called "...

Our first stop as we arrived in the south island was at Marlborough vineyard all of us were abit hungover still but it was only $2 and we only had 3 sips! But also there was a little fudge shop with free tasters which was so good!

The south island is so pretty lots of mountains and coastal roads so as we...

The walk was pretty nice and we got to see lots of scenery along the way. After getting back to the bus we took one more stop at a ice cream shop.....3 scoops for 2 dollars. Bargain! We were...

We left from Rotorua pretty early and stopped off at some hot thermal mud pools where we were given a guided tour. This place smelt awful because of the sulphur coming out of the pools, basically smelt of rotten egg. After walking around there for a couple of hours it was time to hit the road ready to arrive in Taupo and our SKYDIVE!! We were both in the first group to skydive and after arriving at the centre I think we were both getting a little nervous. Amy was...
