Hi, Yesterday we went to Rotorua. A town full of geysers and steam coming up from all over the place. On the way to Rotorua we stopped off at a couple of places. the first place being somewhere that breeds rabbits with extremely long hair, then uses the fur to make jumpers. It was very strange watching a rabbit being sheared!! Certainly another thing I probably won't see again. The rabbit was actually tied down as if he was on a spit the turned over until all t...

Hi! I got to Auckland late on Saturday night. By flying up here I saved 4 days on the bus - what a luxury!! On Sunday morning I met up with Cheryl who I met on Bounty Island (the place I didn't like in Fiji - Cheryl loved it though!). She collected me in her car and took me for a little tour of Auckland. We went up Mount Eden, and One Tree Hill, and we went to a number of different areas along the coast for a look around. It was really nice. For tea we went to ...

Hi, I have had a quiet week compared with last week's bungy jumping action! I have been to Milford Sound, somewhere in the middle of nowhere, Stewart Island and Dunedin! Milford Sound was very pretty, although the eather wasn't the best. I think that the pictures would have been better if the weather was nicer and the mountains were reflecting in the water - oh well. We took a cruise out to the ocean, I really am over boat trips (I don't know what I am going to...

Hey!!I've just done another bungy jump! This time I jumped 134m! the highest jump in NZ. My throat is sore from screaming when I jumped off. It took me about 4 count downs until I found it in myself to jump. It is so scary standing on the platform. Arrghhhhh! I didn't realise I could scream like I did when I jumped off - it sounded like someone was being murdered. I think it scared the people behind me in the queue. Ha ha!! The DVD will be funny to watch ...

Hi!After climbing Franz Joseph I have a bit of a cold ?- poor me!Yesterday we travelled to somewhere in the middle of nowhere (mmmm not exactly a detailed description). Anyway on the way we stopped off at Lake Matheson and got some really nice photos of Fox Glacier reflecting in the lake - this country is sooo beautiful!!Last night it was karaoke night! We had some interesting renditions of songs. As I was rejected from the school choir when I was 10 I decided it...
