Hey there. Currenlty in Rotarua after flying up from Queenstown yesterday. Had a good time there doing some snowbaording, from which im now sore, and going on a lord of the rings 4x4 tour which was great. Also it was winter festival there and there were some weird events and parties on. When up on the slopes i saw loads of farmers racing down the hill with their dogs and the ensuing chaos! Now im back on the north island in a highly volcanic area. just wandered around a thermal 'wonderland' aprk whcih was beautiful and am going to a Maori show/meal tonight. Then will try and stay up till 3 am to watch the england match then get a bus at 8 to go a little further south to do a skydive! Its all go, having fun but glad that i ll be back to see you all before too much longer, love nick xxx
