not updated in an age, new zealand has been fairly quiet so far lots of scenery which is absolutely astounding, makes you say wow, and point and say look at that!! we've done christchurch, westport, mahinapua - where we had a fancy dress party which was fun, i was a Puma (it had to begin with P and that was going to be free for me!). then we went to franz josef where i did a glacier hike, that was pretty scary when we started slipping but in the caves it was amazing - like a big glass cave! pretty tiring though! then we stayed in wanaka, went to see a film - the new terminator one, after 5 mins i was bored as anything so went and joined the party at the hostel instead (New Zealand is party place!). the cinema was cool though, had sofas instead of seats! After Wanaka we came to queenstown - it's been jeffing AMAZING!!! booked a combo for today, we started with a helicpter ride - how v cool! then we went white water rafting - dad you'd have LOVED that! then we did a shotover jet - dad would've loved that too! and guess what guys?!?! we finished the day with the world's 2nd highest bungy jump - i jumped out of a cable car to a 134 metre drop!! it was FABULOUS!!! i am still buzzing!!!! tomorrow we're going to watch the rugby - ALL BLACKS v FRANCE! this is going to be a good match and an all day session is seeming to be in order! (yeah my liver's going to suffer for 2 weeks but i'll be off it in s america so all is ok!). the bungy wasn't painful at all - i screamed a treat though! i went on her first countdown which i am so proud of! tonight we're going to have what everybody has described as the best burger of their life for dinner - i'm looking forward to that - i am starving but first i have a couple of calls to make andneed to try uploading the pics!

hope you're all ok and missing me something chronic ;)

lots of love
