Hey guys!! Well we have been severely lame at the blog updating in New Zealand! Bad girls, bad!! But hope you've all enjoyed looking at the pictures! New Zealand is absolutely beautiful. We havn't seen one skanky place yet. Stunning views of mountains, volcanoes, sea, lakes, quaint little villages etc etc. We've just completed travelling round the North Island, we're in wellington at the mo. Heading on the ferry to South Island 2moro. We've been to Aukland, Bay of Islands, Mercury Bay, Waitomo, Rotorua, Taupo, River Valley and now Wellington. I (mieks) was ill for about 5days at the start of the trip! Very lame so missed out on a few activities! As you'll see from the pics Alex amazingly did her SKYDIVE!! I was sooooooooooo gutted I didn't do it but am planning to maybe do one on the glacier in Franz Josef, have been told thats an amazing place to do one so we shall see people!! Rach got herself a nose piercing!!!!!!!!!!! We are living it up people!! The kiwi experience has been fantastic so far, really easy to get around just jumping on and off the bus when we want!! We've had such comedy moments, had the funniest bus driver ever who called himself something different everyday, Dan, Jean, Simon, Patrick. He was so funny, lots of funny lingo, SWEET AS, f***IN A, ALLLRRRIIGGGHHHTEEEY, CHAAAAAA!! Haha, sorry, only we will understand but cracks us up haha!!

We went to a Mauri village and ate a traditional mauri meal cooked on hot rocks called the 'hangi'. We saw the mauri dance the haka that the all blacks rugby team do, classic! Some very attractive men doing the dancing, wearing next to nothing so us girls loved it haha!

We've met a fantastic group of friends on the kiwi and have been together nonstop for about 10 days now. We're all moving south together so fingers corssed will all be together until Christchurch where we fly out to Sydney Oz! There's 2 boys, Marcus and Tom and 3 girlies Amelia, Laura, Claire and so we've been a big group of 8! Wicked fun! Had a toga night out and most recently all dressed up in green for St Paddys day! Classic pictures!

Seen loads of amazing sights, one being the pool which gollum fishes in Lord of the Rings 2, twas gorgeous! We've been so lucky with the whether, its been boiling pretty much all the time! Meant to be colder on south island so were making the most of it!!

Keep the messages coming and look at all our pics!

Loads of love mieks (and of course rach and al) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
