Monday 21st May Journal entry brought to you by Tami (smooth) Got up ridiculously early today at a time that should be illegal the morning after a night out to go and get my legs waxed. As always, it hurt. Came back home and got back into bed. Sophie and I met Steve, Brian and Ricky for a Fergburger at lunchtime as we'd heard they were good for food. This was an understatement. I have never had a burger like it! Obviously Sophie and I are limited in options...

Sunday 20th May 2007 Journal brought to you by Sophie Today we arrived in the activity centre of New Zealand - a town known as Queenstown. The drive from Wanaka was fairly smooth and in mid afternoon we stopped off at the first ever bungee site in New Zealand so that some of the people on the bus could do one.

Saturday 19th May Journal entry brought to you by Tami (who LOVES New Zealand SO much she doens't think she'll be able to leave) Today was a brilliant day (-: Mike and I woke up really early to go and do our skydive over the Fox Glacier.

Mike and I, having both skydived before, were first up, but u...

We spent the first two hours of the day getting kitted up for the walk. I was wearing about 50 billion layers as I didn't want to freeze. We were given fetching mittens, huge boots that we had to attach ice spikes to as soon as we got on the glacier, some big woollen socks, a warm fle...

Thursday 17th May Journal entry brought to you by Tami (just glad to be alive) Today was a fantastic, albeit slightly traumatising day. We left Mahinapua early in the morning and drove to the Pukekura Bushman centre for breakfast. There was a small museum there, so Sophie, Ricky and I decided to check it out. It was all going fine, until I decided to look for the ginormous wild boar that lived there. There was a large platform outside, and a sign that said 'Onl...
