The day I climbed up the Franz Josef Glazier... I managed to get an early night last night because I knew it would be a long tough day today. I think I had a couple of drinks, did some washing and was in bed by about 10pm. I had a good nights sleep because I moved out of the room Adam was in due to his snoring! We had to be at the Glacier office to prepare / get kitted up for the hike, at 9am. We all took a wander round to the office which is a fifteen minute w...

I had a crazy night last night - the granny costume was first class - the curlers in my hair finished off my outfit! Youll see by the pictures when I finally get them up! I got to bed at about 1am, but sat up talking to Kipp in bed until about 2:30am until everyone else came back to the dorm - apparently they had been down to the lake for a swim (skinnydipping!), in minus temperatures! Stupid! All hell broke loose when they all got back, Adam has his usual sleep...

Had a great evening last night, just sat infront of the fire with a few of the people from the bus. Really nice people. Dinner was lovely, even had a slice of cheesecake!

My alarm went off at 08:00 this morning to give me time to have a shower before JB picked us up at 09:15 to head down to Greymouth for the night. We stopped off at the Pancake Rocks and Blowholes, which was amazing. Youll see what I...

The KIWI Experience bus picked us up at 08:15 and we were introduced to the driver;Nancy Boy. Never really got the full story as to why he was called that, but I can imagine why... The minibus was called 'the old lady' apparently because it hit an old lady last year. Not nice. Anyway, so Nancy Boy was our driver until we reach...

The shuttle picked us up yesterday and took us to the airport so that we could check in to our domestic flight to Christchurch on the south island of New Zealand. Check in was fine, had no problems at all - other than Adam complaining that he had to carry one of my hand luggage bags through security, which he thought made him look gay! Never! Haha! We ended up falling out in the que to board the plane and the lady in front of us said that we would make the perf...
