Yo yo Roturua home of Geothermal activity and hot hot springs (not to mention the constant pong of sulphur ;-) Kiwi Encounter ! Finally got see these little b*****s which were actually a lot bigger than we thought ! on the journey through the centre one little beauty was trying to hatch but as this can take up to 5 days we thought it best to leave hin to it.

Hi all, weather hasn't been the best the last few days (yes it has been raining non stop today - how rude ;P!) so unfortunately we didn't do the sky dive yesterday but more fortunately we have a little more time to prepare! Did the Gondola and the Luge before departing from Queenstown though which was good fun then heading to Lake Wanaka as pic above! Oz style drive then took us to Franz Josef Glacier a fair few hours later ready for the morning's guide trip up...
