Day 169 and after a noisy nighhts sleep we were up and about by 9 thinking of heading into Taupo town centre, but first we went to investigate about possible skydives for the next day. Freefall skydiving was our stop and in we went and they were keen for us to go up and jump today as the weather was so good. We didnt need to much persuading (as we planned on doing it sometime) so Helen, Burns, Luke and I suited up and got ready for our jump. The height we woul...

Day 164 and Helen Laura and Luke were all up by 7am and getting ready as their tour started well before ours. Me and Burns were still in bed as they drove to their drop off. Me and Burns then went to our tour centre and napped for 2 hours as our tour didnt start till 11am. At 11am we were told our tour was delayed as 4 people were late so the tour company promised us free photos afterwards. Our guide was called Jono and the other 4 people in our group were 4 ...

Day 160 and we woke early and it was friggin freezing, and we all had to put socks and trousers on.

We drove 45 mins to Rotorua and as soon as we got there we could smell rotten Egg. This is because the area is full of hot springs and Geysers which smell like bag eg...

Day 156 and after a night of constant rain we woke to blue sky and sunshine to our amazement. Our milk had gone werid, we think the fridge isnt the best! After showering (and getting stalked by cats, there were about 4-5 following us about cause they thought we had food) we filled up with water and were on our way. We drove to a town called KeriKeri. There wasnt a lot to do apart from see New Zealands oldest stone and wooden house, go on a pointless walk and g...

Day 152 and we were up and checked out by 10 and got a taxi to the airport where we were headed to collect our home for the next 63 days. Thanks to our good friend Nikki, we were able to get a good deal on a campervan for the 5 of us for our entire time in New Zealand. We arrived at the Apollo car centre at 10, where it was mega busy. Luke had done some washing in the morning but no dried it so he left his clothes on his bag and the tarmac outside to dry. Thi...
