Hello! Sorry its been a while but just been busy all the time! Anyway, sent a couple of days aat Auckland after last speaking where I did the usual tourist things like going up the sky tower and the museum and going across the bay on a boat.

I then jumped on a kiwi bus and headed off to a place called mercury bay where there was a brilliant little beach where a few of us went swimming and just relaxing on the beach really. Then got back on the bus and headed to Rotorua which is basically built in the crater of an extinct volcano so the place stinks of sulphur which takes a bit to get used to! Anyway first up we luging down a hill where basically we sat in little plastic sledges with wheels and a handle bar and a brake and raced down a winding track down a hill which was quality. In the evening we went to a mock up maori village which was a great experience and had a massive meal and watched them do things like the haka and that was really good. That evening we went to the bar and had quite a messy night with Jagerbombs and the like. However we found the best hangover cure was white water sledging.
