Since Queenstown things have taken a little dip on the fun-factor scale. I had anticipated this slump in adrenaline and/or alcohol fuelled activities and it was always an inevitability.Queenstown to Christchurch was almost 7 hours worth of Cruising through the country roads. There were a few people I already knew on the bus from before which made it bearable but with the lack of sleep and dissapointment of missing out on a few activities I wasn't in my normal...

During our trip in New Zealand Milford Sound had been built up as an amazing experience just by word of mouth.To be honest, I was painfully dissapointed. The Kiwi Experience bus ride for this particular section is an 8 hour round trip. So after 4 hours of sitting on a bus doing your best to take in the views after getting up at some unearthly hour, a random and arguably simple looking ferry takes you on a 2 Hour cruise through the Sound, which we were told isn...

Yesterday, I went ahead and threw myself off a wobbling cable car, 134 meters up in the air. The experience was amazing, like no other. If anyone reading this comes to New Zealand it is a must do.

Sky-Diving is booked for 1.30pm NZ time (yes it's gonna be my second freefall experience but this time with a very cool plane).Then Hang-Gliding at 3pm NZ time (2am G...

So, I left you all at Nelson from my last entry.I'm currently in a bus filled with lots of computers writing to you thru a little thing called the "Internet".I apologise, I'm still equalising from the pressure drop that occurs after mixing a cold with a Helicopter Flight! Yes, I still have the sniffles but the worst part is over at least. I won't even mention it from now on! Getting back to the part that matters, I took the $320.00 NZD Heli...
