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 or stir my juices of amazement. 

HOWEVER

Next stop NEVIS BUNGY!!  Now that's more like it!  440ft over a river.  For a split second as I shuffled to the edge I panicked that it's an impossible thing to do.  Then I was soaring through the air getting a top buzz thinking Again Again!  I LOVE BUNGY JUMPING.

We are now in Christchurch, resting for the first time in 2 weeks.  We spent all afternoon yesturday sat in the town square watching street entertainers, people plaing life-size chess, and strolling through the stalls.  Tomorrow - swim with dolphins. YIPPEE!
