So i'm one month in, and one month to go. It's certainly going to be a game of 2 halves. First = party. 2nd = culture (+ party). The rugby was great, the home team won. You can't beat a good live-at-the-game atmosphere. Next, in Kaikoura, I went ... Read more >

Milford Sound. Don't bother! It's a boat trip through glacier-created rocky mountains, which I believe is beautiful in the sunshine. Thing is it always rains there. Plus mammoth bus trip (5 hours each way). That one failed to raise my heart rate ... Read more >

Well today started off nice and relaxing. We had a 1.5hr walk in Nelson Lakes National Park. Which I have just learned is the most dangerous thing I could choose to do in NZ because 10 - 40 people die in the bush every year because they aren't well ... Read more >

Hey world. Went black water rafting which was great fun. Hilarious. 3 hours in a sexy wetsuit floating through caves lit up by green glowworms which look like fairy lights. LOADS of entertainment value from the fact that we were in rubber rings. ... Read more >
