Its official....Saturday 14th November was the best day of my life so far! :-) On the 13th i started a trip called East As, which basically takes you off the beaten track to stay with the real NZ people and learn about the natives and the tribes etc. We started the day by driving through Gisborne, the first official town to see the sun for that day (due to the date line being just off the East Coast of NZ). This was quite a bit town compared to what i thought, a...

When i first jumped out there was a split second of fear, but then i just looked at the nice scene...

Well I have now done the 3rd highest bungee jump in the world! I was totally confident all the way through, i walked straght up to the edge, looked down, and threw myself off.
