New Zealand Adventure!


WOW what a few eventful weeks, or months i should say, it has been since i have updated!

The best to report is that last week, my housemate Ant and myself returned from a 15 day holiday in New Zealand! We did a 12 day contiki tour around the North and South Islands and never have I had so much fun.
The scenery, activities, culture and the people made it a trip of a life time. The liver is having a huge detox atm
\m/>.<\m/ haha.

Here are a couple of photos of the tour:
This was our first stop on the tour at Lake Tekapo. The sky and the water were a fantastic blue. It was breathtaking!On our way to Doubtful Sounds, an overnight cruise.
This is the main group of people I hung out with. Left side: Ant & Cam (AUS) - Right Side: Myself, Charlie (UK) and Bliss (AUS) - Cam & Bliss were on their honeymoon
Trekking 3.5 hours to the fabulous Fox Glacier.
Touring around Wellington, we got to visit sites where the Lord of The Rings was filmed *squee*.
The epic Pirates & Princess boat party.... a very messy yet unforgettable night
Zorbing the next day very hungover. - Zorbing involves rolling down a hill in a giant ball filled with warm water!

Black water rafting in the North Island. Have a nice juicy bruise on my leg but was a very different way to see glow worms.
And there was so much more. One particular activity was called the Canyon Swing which involved jumping off a cliff with a freefall of 60m , then swinging out into an arc! Was very freaking yet exciting enough to do it twice :D
So am now in the process of planning my Europe adventure hopefully within the next 2 years!!! Have caught the bug!
Well im off now to dream about the rest of the world
ciao ciao
