Yo, yo, yo! Almost my last journal entry folks....dum dum daaaahhh! (Well until I go travelling again that is!) and I feel that is important that I update and tell you about MY NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE. That's right...my NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE occured in my mini plane crash....okay okay slight exaggeration the plane more fell over when it landed in a storm in Wellington after circling in crazy turbulance for 40mins whilst they tried to fix the landing radar at air traffic control - I know, sounds like a Bruce Willis movie! I swear I have never been so afraid in my life, the cabin lights were flashing, plane shaking, the works! Times like that you look back on your life and go....yay I had an awesome gap year! (Ho ho, no I didn't I was wetting myself!) Anyways, all is well, especially after a few complimentary alcoholic beverages from the airline....Luckily the connecting flight to Auckland was verrrryyy smooth, infact I was soo relaxed, (in state of shock) that I managed to miss my bus stop to the YHA and got a free city sightseeing tour! So far Auckland seems to consist of Starbucks and sushi bars - hurrah! Will have a bit of an explore tomorrow. I was really sad to leave behind Queenstown, gutted that I had to say goodbye to my pal Andrea, (the pics of us at Mardi Gras!) and my revolving door of tasty snowboarders...heh heh heh! ;)! At least its going to be a hell of a lot warmer from now on - got down to minus 8...do you have any idea how cold that is? (Thank goodness for hot snowboarder to warm self up!) Finally made it up to the slopes aswell, though didn't ski, instead built giant snowfort and made snow angels....who says you're too old to do stuff like that!? All that remains for me to do now is click my wellies together three times and repeat...there's no place like Fiji, there's no place like Fiji....... xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (P.S. The old email is up the creek, don't know when it'll sort itself out. Will keep you all posted. Peace.)
