Today was my last full day in New Zealand. I never thought that 8 weeks could fly by so fast, but they have. I'll not sum up my time in New Zealand quite yet, I'll save that until after LA when I make my last entry, but it has been just absolutely amazing.... Read more >

The region of NZ where Paul lives is called The Catlins. It's in the south east corner and is home to lots of beaches, waterfalls and birds it would seem. While I'm here and I have access to the car, I figured it makes sense to drive around and check ... Read more >

Unfortunately my last day in Christchurch was fairly uneventful due to the rain. I had forgotten what rain was up in the north island but this isn't quite the case down south. I still managed to get myself out for a bit of breakfast in a cafe however ... Read more >

I decided to spend my last day in Queenstown just walking around and taking in the scenery. I took a walk along the lake front and around the park. It was a really nice clear, crisp, typical Autumns day so everything looked amazing. I then had possibly ... Read more >

I dragged myself out of bed (how many of my entries start with me getting out of bed early; too many...) and down to the canyon swing base in Queenstown. Here I filled in some forms and then was made to watch a DVD of loads of people doing the swing ... Read more >

This morning I got up and I felt very very nervous. This afternoon at I would be doing my bungy jump. I had some breakfast to try and settle my stomach and gave my mum a call to tell her that I'd had a nice life and that I loved her. I got myself ready ... Read more >

This morning, after a quick phonecall to catch up with Ashley, I got back onto my beloved Kiwi Experience bus. Today we were headed to Queenstown, "adventure capital" and the furthest south that the bus would be taking me. Thankfully the weather ... Read more >

Still gutted about missing out on the glacier, I woke this morning to the sound of pouring rain. It still hadn't stopped. In the night I was woken by the whole room flashing with light followed by the loudest thunder I've ever heard. Then the rain chucked ... Read more >

I was absolutely devistated today. We headed down to the glacier center, got kitted out with all our waterproof gear and boots and gloves, cramed onto the bus, journeyed to the bottom of the glacier, and then we were told that a group that had went ahead ... Read more >

We headed off from Wesport after a fairly long lie. We were continuing our way down the "wild west coast", known for its bad weather and rough seas. The whole bus journey more or less was along the coastline, with amazing views of the sea to ... Read more >
