hi everyone hope your all keeping well and getting ready for xmas!

im now in a place called franz joseph on the west coast of the south island of new zealand!

since leaving the north island we spent a couple of days a kaikora which is a really small town but its famous for its sea wildlife especially dolphins! we did s trip to go swimming with dolphins we went out at 5.30 am and it was freezing well woth it though because there were hundreds of dusky dolphins and we got in and they just swim straight up to you and circle you and generally piss about with you which was amazing!

since then we have been going down the west coast doing some pretty cool stuff on the way weve been jumping off of massive rocks in to rivers done some good walks around amazing scenery! had some drunken nights as well especially one in a place called the poo pub where we went in fancy dress you will have to look at the pictures when i put them on!

tomorrow we are going to do a days guided glacier walk up the franz joseph glacier which looks pretty spectacular and there are plans to do a 15000ft sky dive and a 143meter bunjy jump so i will keep you all posted on how they go so any way take care look forward to hearing from you all craig x
