Hello, and apologies for the lateness of this blog. We have been racing round NZ on a hectic schedule generally just doing hectic activities, with a few more still to come. Since our skydive in Taupo, which was the most amazing experience ever, we have continued heading south.... We spent a night in River Valley where our white water rafting was cancelled due to the water level being too high; it had managed to rain for a whole day on the way there pretty much! O...

We did our skydive today. It was the most amazing experience. Jumping out of a plane with nothing on...... Heading towards the ground for a minute at 200kph, covering 10,000 feet! And then the calm of the parachute ride. It was awesome......

We arrived into Auckland, made our way into the city from the airport, and crashed with Chris (Lee) and Michelle for a night. Was good to catch up with them, and nice to have some free accomodation again! We were very well looked after though.... Spending tonight in a hostel before ...

Our time in Australia is nearly over. One week to go, don't think either of us can believe how quickly it has gone! We head to NZ in 5 days time, flying into Aukland. The east coast has been really cool, done loads of amazing stuff and met lots of people. Highlights have to be Fraser Island and the Whitsundays though. Our most recent trip was to the Whitsundays which involved 3 days sailing, most of which was spent sitting in the sun and socialising! We slept on...
