Auckland, New Zealand
New Zealand has been fan-blooming-tastic, but I can safely say that we're looking forward to leaving for the sunshine!
After flying into Auckland over a month ago, we started our journey south in a posher little campervan to our first stop Rotorua, which is one smelly place due to sulphur from the geo thermal activity. Next stop was Lake Taupo where we both did a skydive from 15,000ft - Joel is still asking himself why he jumped out of a perfectly good plane....
