Hi all, Sorry about the photo, I haven't taken any of my own here in Christchurch and the photo selection on this website isn't so great sometimes. Christchurch is just another city but smaller. It's got a bunch of shops - which I experienced and blew loads of money in today - and bars and nightclubs, which I completely humiliated myself in last night, but that's another story and not for a completely open website!!! Leaving here tomorrow to go to...

Hi all, Due to a slight misunderstanding, I ended up staying three nights in Dunedin instead of two - lets just say that Stray couldn't make up their minds which timetable they were sticking to! Anyway, two out of three nights, I spent totally legless in bars and nightclubs. There's absolutely nothing else to do there, except maybe go shopping, swimming or see the world's steepest street. So in summary, I've had a hangover for two days. Sweet. Haven...

Hey everyone, I hope you're all well and happy. I have so much to tell you, I'm sure I'll miss some stuff out. But here goes... Milford Sound was absolutely stunning, we got soaked on the boat but the views were cool. I have loads of photos, but none really do it justice I'm afraid. Went to Stewart Island for 2 nights and the first full day, I walked round and got my bearings around the place. There are only 380 people on the whole island and on...

Hi everyone, Queenstown has just the right balance of people, activities, scenery and excitement needed to have a good time. I elected to stay on here for an extra two days because I just didn't want to leave. The Wakatipu basin is just a fantastic array of mountains surrounding a huge lake. Queenstown's population of around seven thousand is a shock compared to a few of the places I have visited so far (again Barrytown springs to mind). I've taken a...

Hi everyone, I arrived in Queenstown late yesterday afternoon, after watching some mates doing a bungy jump. I was tempted but after the sky dive it didn't actually look that scary (only a 40ft jump). So I decided to save my money and do another sky dive as soon as I can. Queenstown looks like a great place to stay for a few days. The bus leaves on Monday, but I think I'll stay here and wait for the next bus on Wednesday I think. It's got everythin...
