hey people, hope you guys are ok.... we are on another contiki trip going through new zealand.. we started off in christchurch and we are now in wellington... new zealand is absolutely beautiful.. we have been up to all sorts... we went on lord of the ring tours ... this country is very scenic... it is so picturesque you would think that is is not real at all./... we went to queenstown which is the adventure capital of Nz. we did a tour on a jet boat..then went white water rafting and because the adrenaline rush wasnt enough we went to do some paragliding...... it is so much fun... well put it this way... i have put a lot of things on my list of "things to do before i die" i have dvds for proof for those of you who dont believe me,.... we had to spend a night on the boat known as the milford wanderer... it wasnt a five star put it that way.... we had to sleep in bunks but it wasnt that bad...i t was a different experience.... put it that way... five bathrooms between 40 people... oh well lifes an experience. we also headed for dinner on the skyline restaurant in queenstown... it was amazing... having dinner with the view of the cirty below you.... we went to the ice bar in queenstown... it was cool... well cold would be an appropriate word... we had all the gear on but it was not such a big place... so we have to definately go to the london one... we headed to fox glacier and i fell sick... food here is not catered for vegetarians like me. so i coulndt climbthe glacier instead i spent a day in bed. well not to worry.. being pharmacist has to have some perks so went to buy myself some berroca to keep my self going... i had only been a month i was not going to let that ruin my holiday... sorry people i havent been able to weite that often... it is harder to find the time and internet places... we have to be up by 6 and be on the move all the time anyway have put some pics up... see if you can identify some to the lord of the rings sites on there would love to hear from you... missing you....
