We have now arrived in Santiago after a couple of nights in Aukland, which wasnt that exciting, apart from eating a fat steak at Toni's!! For me, the flight was absolutely horrendous....Whilst sitting in the airport, we decided to go to maccy D's, where bob had a big mac and i ahd a chocolate milkshake. Everything was going fine, we were on time, boarded etc and it looked like a plain sailing 11 hour flight. But....5 hours into the journey, after a couplke o...

After the successful hitching experience we were/are back in Queenstown. After arriving and spending the evening sipping a couple of pints, action was needed. There were decisions to be made, these decisions involving acertain 440 foot bungy jump. Anyway, the decision was made that wed try and book the jump on the following day.
