Hello people, well i have made it back to Oz! Yes i'm in Melbourne and the commonwealth games start in 2 days!

Hello everyone. The postcard shows auckland where i spent this weekend. I'm now in the bay of islands in Paihia, which is at the northern peak of Nz. So yes, i'm nearly at the end of my trip in Nz.

Hay guys, i'm now in Lake Taupo and i did a bungy jump this morning! I fell 47 m towards a beautiful blue coloured river and bounced up again and did it all over again. No, my life did not flash before my eyes! It was a very dufferent sort of experience and one that i'm not that tempted to do again. Lake Taupo, so far is lovely with beautiful scenery yet again. Wishing you all were here, love Helen xxxxxxxxxxx

Hello from Wellington, yes i have finally made it on to the North Island, where the weather is warm and bright. Seen the sights of Wellington at night and day so far, slightly random place for the evening, but by day it is lovely. Went on the cable car today, pictured! Hope your all ok? Love Helen xxxxxx
