Leaving Wanaka on the way to Queenstown. I have signed myself up to do a bungy at the original jump site called Kawarau. Its a bridge jump over a river! When we arrived we were taken into the museum and given a secrets of bungy tour that demonstrates how it all began and what it all involves. Next it was time to sign up and get it over and done with! I think I was one of the first to jump from our bus, due to my proximity to the door! I was actually planning on ...

Leaving Franz Josef for Lake Wanaka but first we stopped off at Lake Mathason which is also named the Mirror lake. It was so calm and the reflection with Mount Cook was amazing! Got some pretty sweet photos. On the bus to Wanaka I had a revelation, I had decided to do a skydive with Pete and Adam! I don't know what came over me. I started to gloat to Ian that if I did this skydive then I would have jumped out of a plane higher than he had! Needless to say he sig...

Leaving Lake Mahunapia we were on the road again, admitdly feeling a little rough heading towards Franz Josef home of the famous glacier but first we had a stop for breakfast at a place called the Bushmans Cafe.

Do you know why he was crazy, i'll tell ya! He used to catch deer using Helictopter. O...

It doesn't sound enthrawling but I guess you had to be there to see it! Next stop was a supermarket to buy fancy dress goods for the party at the 'Poo Pub' tonight! The theme th...

Out of Nelson and off to the Nelson Lakes National park where we went for a small walk around so that we could take in the views which were spectacular! You had it all, beautiful mountains, crystal clear water and killer ducks that seemed desperate for a bite of your sandwich at whatever cost! We spent the night in Westport where we tried to cook up a BBQ. I told ian to cut the sausages in half so we could make sure that they were cooked in the middle as I was t...
