Hey y'all,

Well for some reason it won't let me upload my pics. Gutted as have some really good ones of NZ. (**Have just uploaded them - if you can still be bothered to look)

Again a brief overview is all you're gonna get due to memory failure and laziness on my part. Loving NZ - tho no one told me just how inbred everyone on the south island is, It's truly bizzare.

Christchurch was the first stop in our NZ experience. I couldn't get over how much like England it was - quite nice to feel like I was back in blighty. Sadly the weather was also like England. Rach, Nick and I did a skydive there - my first extreme activity. Was so so so nervous before hand. Asked my (quite fit) skydiver a million times if the parachute was defo packed properly and whether we were safe and attached. Annoyingly, he found it hilarious to tell me how it was his forst ever jump and that he had no idea if the parachute was in or not. Needless to say I was a complete wreck. After he practically pushed me out of the plane, I loved the experience. I wanted to do it again the moment I landed. Defo recomend it.

After christchurch Rach went off to Hawai and Nick went off on his magic bus tour. Al and I decided to hire a car and have a bit of a road trip. We visited numerous places on the east coast, that you prob won't be interested in. We met up with Al's friends Marck and Jo in Picton and have since been travelling with them. We did another wine tour in Blenheim. Again we were on bikes, which was quality. Made a few purchases which were consumed that night.

Highlights of the road trip so far:

- Having a herd of cows on the road surround our car. Was completely surreal.

- Doing the Franz Josef glacier hike - awesome.

- Glow worm caving trip.

- Night of Kareoke. We were robbed of our prize, despite rocking the house with a foursome attempt at Dehlila and Robbie and Kylie's 'Kids'.

In Queenstown at the mo - where it is extreme sport central. Al and Mark are going to bungy, but think I might wimp out.

Off to peru soon xx
