Wel here we are, our final stop in New Zealand. Wow we have loved this place. To think I had no desire to come here and would very easily have missed it out give half a chance but im so glad we didnt. This has to be one, of not our favorite place so far. James is very keen to come back as soon as we can. In the way of Auckland though its just another city. We went for a walk down to the harbour and around the city centre but not really too much to tell. We neede...

Rotorua.....SMELLS! like the worst thing we have ever smelt. Here is is on a geothermic plate so the air is full of sulphur which if you didnt know smells like rotten egg.

So we were staying at a hotel called crank and coul...

There was only really the museum that was worth going to but still the weather wasaa raining and cold so we sacked that off. Nexst stop Taupo

QUEENSTOWN QUEENSTOWN QUEENSTOWN!! The excitement has kicked in as we are finally here the final destination of the West Coast! So as we arrive our first stop was the Karawu Bungee bridge. The home home of the AJ Hacket Bungy. Basically the first bunge in the world. We went in and watched a video and even that made my mind up that I would never perfromr sucvh a riduclous act of throwing myself off a bridge. 90% of the bus however had other ideas. Sadly as we onl...
