Hey guys, firstly want to say sorry for the lack of reponses to my emails, messages on here and texts - i have no credit and havent had much time on the net to get back to everyone! I have put some photos up of New Zealand so far! Sorry for the lack of blogs too - we are constantly on the move here so we havent really had much time!

We arrived in Christchurch on the 12th Nov we were in Christchurch for one night - I didnt see anything of Christchurch as i was ill, then we were off to Kaikoura the next day. We hired bikes for $5 and went on a huge bike ride where we saw dolphins, seals and whales it was amazing but we both got hugely sunburnt!! After Kaikoura we were Nelson bound! However, there wasnt much there but we went for a walk up another mountain to reach the centre of New Zealand. We spent 2 nights here before going to Greymouth - which was completely dead.

The next day was Franz Josef - we were both looking forward to coming here as we planned to do the glacjier trip. The town was really nice and small - only 300 people live there! It didnt stop raining when we arrived so decided to spend the day relaxing in the hot pools which were fab! The next day we went up the glacier! We did the biggest trek! My leg muscles still kill! We didnt expect it to be a actually hike! Although Paul said it wasnt as difficult as i make it out to be! But im seriously unfit! It was beautiful even tho it rained and i was wet through! After Franz Josef we made our way to Queenstown - where we are now and going to be spending 4 nights! Sorry this is hugely quick and basic but i have no internet time left! Hopefully be a bit more indepth soon! All in all New Zealand is pretty amazing! The drives are made more interesting when its so hilly and pretty! Although the roads are soooooooo bendy that i feel sick! 2 weeks left in New Zealand before Fiji

Hope everyone is well
