If you want to ski, snowboard, skydive, bungee jump and just partayyyyyy then Queenstown is 'the' place to be!! Skydive try number two for Lucy .... And FAIL!!! Weathers too unclear again, which really sucks because we all wanted to go and watch but luckily for Lucy she's heading back to the north island so will have another chance to do one. I'm just super relieved that I did mine in Taupo when I had the chance because otherwise I wouldn't have been able to do...

Today is a trip to Wanaka... Where? ... Wanaka!!! Yeah I had no idea either!!

Because that's the only way you can get up it was ac...

Rushed breakfast, a bus and a ferry and were being dropped at Anchorage before I know it, which is a bay on the coast of Abel Tasman. We were being picked up from Mahura which is 12.4km (7.7miles) from where we were and we had 5hours to get there; the walk should take 4hours so we had time for a dinner stop aswell. The first part of the walk was really really steep and of course unfit me was completely out of breath!! When we got to the top of the first part the...
