So to my distress we had to leave Wanaka! I imagine my grandkids growing up there one day..absolutely stunning, and headed for the Nightlife, adventue capital of New Zealand, Queenstown. On the way the time had come to take life to a new extreme. Yes I decided to book not one but three bungy jumps (code named the Thrillogy). It was only $350 and since one as over $190 i thought why not. I had nearly bugy jumped before in Falaraki all those years back, but decide...

So we left Franz Joseph behind us, with one more memory to lodge, my first ever game of paintball! And my god does that hurt! I tell you now I could never be in the Marines, I was shockingly bad! I got shot so many times I had bruises all over me! One because one of the girls got carried away and shot me from close range, oh my god did that hurt. Got her back by shooting her in the arse! Ha!

Tim you would’ve been so proud of me!. My first cross dressing moment and to be honest I have to admit I was the ugliest woman you h...

So I was up early and quite happy to leave Wellington, catching the 9am ferry to the south Island – wooohooo! Wasn’t aware that it took 3 hours, and for you that know my love of boats, 3 hours is a long time! However we had the football and the cricket so all was well, I just tried to sleep. 3 hours later I arrived in Picton and was greeted by the big Green Kiwi Bus! The adventure starts here, I remember thinking if this is a fraction as good as the a...
