Here's what each of us thought of our moment of freefall... Note: the jumpsuits only fitted one of us.... Andy:

Now that we’d gotten our fill of mountains we headed further
south to Lake Wanaka. This is the
quieter version of Queenstown by all accounts and very nice it was too. With
much of the activities of Queenstown but without all the drunken folk. It ... Read more >

Mount Cook
After giving our car a propper run in (the wonder that is a
Nissan Sunny!) we arrived at Mount Cook. Our route took us past the brilliantly
blue lakes of Tekapo and Pukaki. The
first day was a bit of a wash out so we headed to the ... Read more >

First stop in New Zealand was Christchurch which we didn’t

Bondi – The next day we took the 333 bus to Bondi
beach. The beach is huge and really
busy; sort of reminded me of Southend seafront on a grander scale. We took a walk south to some of the smaller

New Years eve – We’d heard that the Botanical Gardens are a
great spot to watch the New Years fireworks from (thanks Angharad!). After speaking to people at the hostel we

After a very
sleepless night on the plane to Sydney sat next to a very annoying couple who

On flight from UK we watched a film about some climbers and surfers heading down to Patagonia called 182 Degrees South. A great film and definitely whetted our appetite for South America. After the 12 hour flight and a short tube ride into the city
