Hello everyone! We jumped out of a plane today!!!!! It was awesome but let us tell it from the start. We woke up yesterday in Taupo to yet more rain so of course the skydive was cancelled and we had a morning of sitting on the sofas - something which we have become very good at recently lol! However the weather cleared up in the afternoon to gorgeous sunshine but they still cancelled our skydive as apparently there was too much cloud still. So instead w...

Hello people, We have had an action packed time since Kaikoura! We travelled to Wellington on Thursday. It was quite good because we got to go on a ferry crossing to the North Island which took 3 hours!!!! After arriving we checked in and had a drink and game of pool in the bar until tea time. We had a lovely tea at a restaurant and then we had another drink before bed. An 8am start on Friday so that we could travel to River Valley. We got dropped off a...

It was a very good night which Steph only remembers half lol! We was up early Sunday morning to catch our bus to Milford Sound.

Hey, On Thursday we went for an 8 hour hike on the Franz Josef Glacier! The day started at 9.15 when we had to check in and put all our gear on. This included trying to work out New Zealand boot sizes which ended in Steph just wearing two pairs of thick socks. We also had to grab some talonz (spikes for our boots), a rain jacket, hat and a pair of gloves! After kitting out and making ourselves look pretty we got onto the bus to take us to the carpark. We the...
