Hey all, Just a quick update, am now in Christchurch and leave for Australia in 2 days. I can't believe I've been gone almost 2 1/2 months and in NZ for 2 of them, although I have been pretty busy and am very much settled into it now, so in other ways its not so hard to believe I suppose. Anyways NZ in an awesome place and I could easily complain about leaving it as it has everything for me mainly a laid back attitude, outdoors and action, however since I am off...

Hey all, Apologies for what is likely to be the longest post so far :O! I've not done one for a little while and have been super busy, plus I'm half using this blog as a record for myself so while i try to keep it relatively short its nice to have some details too. Anyway you can all just shout at me for wittering on if its too long. Right so this is what I've been doing: 14th Did an acrobatic flight in a stunt plane. This has gotta be the most mental thing I...

Hi All, I've moved on to Queenstown now, was sad to leave Eanaka behind because it was such a nice place.

I'm still travelling with Paul and Arjan, we went up togethor in a group of about 10 with a guide, it has got to be one of the best days I've had so far. We spent 6 hrs on the ice, climbing over ice walls, walking along ridges, through crevices and caves all formed co...

Hey again everyone, Apologies for the gap since I last blogged, I've been pretty busy: The last time I blogged I had just arrived in Wellington, I spent 2 nights there, went to watch a super 14 rugby match with the wellington team thrashing an ozzie one so good cheer all round there. I then moved on to picton, crossing the cook straight between the 2 islands and instead of continuing on with the bus decided to hang around for a while so I could do some walking...
