Hello from beautiful New Zealand!

Have been really terrible at keeping up with this whole blog thing- just not enough hours in the day (or money to keep paying for the internet)

Just at the end of an amazing 3 weeks in NZ and can't believe how many things I've done.

Joined the good old KiwiExperience bus in Christchurch and started the tour of the South island. After the amazingness of Australia it was pretty hard to get into it, especially as the bus had a massive change around of people the first few days so didn't really get to meet people. Things improved after another kayaking trip where we got put on the overflow mini-bus as the main one was full. This meant you could actually get to know people, get places faster and do more awesome things than the big bus. eg. go to a pub for a pint at 10am or visit a penguin colony!

First of the really awesome things was a helicopter ride to the top of a glacier where we did a 3 hour hike, crampons and all. My friend also managed to have the acomplishment of being the first person ever to puke on the glacier. Twice.

Won a canyon swing in Queenstown (by dressing as Bieber of course) and that was def the most terrifying thing I've ever done. Skydiving was a doddle compared to that. I still maintain that everyone else enjoyed it a lot more than me coz they didn't have the wonderfully surprised feeling of being pushed off a cliff instead of jumping...

Swimming with the dolphins has to be one of the best things I've done though. Incredable to be able to interact with so many of them in the wild. Can't describe what it feels like to have a race against 3 dolphins- I won of course.

Yesterday we visited the caves in Waitomo which are famous for their spectacular glow worms. Not enough to do that though- have to go absailing 35m into a pitch black crevice, zip-wire through the dark over a massive whole, jump into freezing water then climb up some watchfalls aswell. All in a days work!

Really think that there is nothing that can scare me in America now. Think all the stupid things I wanted to do have been done so time to relax and get down to some serious sight seeing.

Bye for now xxx
