HAPPY BIRTHDAY EMMA! I have no wifi because all the NZ hostels so far charge for it and I haven't found a free wifi phone box hotspot yet... I'm sure I will in Wellington. So I hope you have a marvellous day and the kids treat you well and pie taille bake you a cake on which they put lots of smarties!!!
I'm on a coach, a different coach, at 5 30 am on the way to Mount Doom. Everyone is in true tourist mode and it is easier to remember Mt Doom than Mt Ngauruhoe... We are doing the new alpine crossing (the old in is slightly disrupted by a lava flow). Well, half of us are, some are just doing a 'highlights tour' which is shorter and, lets face it, the wimpy option. Either way we all start together and we will all end up in the bar tonight!
Did I miss something? Oh yes! Bungeeee!!! I'm sure the video will tell most of the story in due course but I can tell you that it was fantastic, it is addictive and I got wet! (The fluid was river water and not my own FYI) I tried to shout "Peel banana, peel peel banana!" as I plummeted but I only got so far as "Peeeel baaannaaa(bubble bubble)". At which point I came out and spun myself like a vortex and made generic adrenaline junkie noises as I bounced around for a couple of minutes, grinning and laughing all the way. What a hoot.
