Hey, long time no speak! It sounds like everyone had an awesome time at the Nonstop reunion-I apologise for not being there!- I really wish I could have been. So...., loads done in the last few weeks, cant rememer a great deal about it though-soo hard to remember each place seen and all things done! But on to the main things....which have mostly been in the last few days. I left Wellington and hopped onto the ferry across to Nelson in the South island. Here i got my first taste of winter! As we climbed higher into the hills all the ground was covered with fresh snow, and it was snowing at the time!-was a nice taster of things to come! Im not sure if anyone has heard, but there have been loads of storms and things all over New Zealand at the min, a fair bit of the low land in the south island is white! Ive worked my waydown the west coast now, and am currently in Franz Josef!-Here ive had the best two experiences of the trip so far, first being jumping out of a plane over snow capped mountains, the second, which ive done today is a full day hike up the Franz Josef Glacier. It was incredible walking through all the blue coloured crevases and carefully climbing over all the icepools. Anyway...time to head south to the mountains....xXx
