HEY THERE EVERYONE ITS ME AGAIN. WELL I HAVE JUST TRAVELLED THE SOUTH ISLAND AND AS I WAS TOLD IT WAS BLOODY BEAUTIFUL, MORE SO THAN THE NORTH. DID SOME TREKING AROUND ABEL TASMIN NATIONAL PARK WHICH WAS STUNNING. TRIED TO BE TOO BUTCH IN FRONT OF SOME IRISH PEOPLE BY JUMPING OVER SOME ROCKS IN A STREAM AND SLIPPED. I WAS WET THROUGH AND NEEDED HELP TO GET UP OUT OF THE WATER. THEN I HEADED FURTHER SOUTH DOWN THE WEST COAST. I TOOK A TOUR BUS WHICH WAS PRETTY COOL CUS YOU COULD GET ON AND OFF BETWEEN DESTINATIONS FOR AS LONG AS YOU WANTED. THE SCENERY WAS AMAZING IT REALLY WAS. WELL THEN CAME ME BIRTHDAY AND I TREATED MYSELF TO A NIGHT OUT AND DINNER, COULDNT BELIEVE THAT THERE WAS 15 PEOPLE OUT FOR MY BIRTHDAY. DIDNT KNOW HALF OF THEM AS THEY JUST TAGGED ALONG FOR A DRINKING EXCUSE BUT I GOT SOME FREE BEER SO WHO CARES. WELL THE NEXT DAY I DECIDED TO CLIMB THE FRANZ JOSEPH GLACIER WITH AN HANGOVER (8HRS ON ICE) BUT IT WAS WORTH IT AS I HAD A GREAT DAY AND GOT SOME AMAZING PICS!!!!! THEN THERE WAS WANAKA (IF YOU GO TO NEW Z YOU GOTTA GO HERE!!!)IT WAS TOO BEAUTIFUL TO DESCIBE HONESTLY. DID SOME TREKING AND HAD A FREE BBQ PUT ON BY THE LOCAL CHURCH. THEY DONT HAVE MANY IF ANY HOMELESS IN THIS REGION SO THEY FEED THE NEXT BEST THING HEE HEE. OH AND I SLIPPED AGAIN WHILST TREKING. I WENT STRAIGHT INTO THE WATER, I COULD HAVE DROWNED AND THE ONLY THING I WAS BOTHERED ABOUT WAS MY BLOODY CAMERA. I WAS RESCUED BY A GERMAN LAD. BACK ONTO THE BUS AND OFF TO QUEENSTOWN (NZ'S PARTY CAPITAL) OH AND ALL YOU DRINKERS OUT THERE YOU NEED TO VISIT THIS PLACE ITS CRAZY ( EMMA YOU WOULD LOVE IT) !!! FINALLY I REACHED CHRISTCHURCH AND I HAVE TO SAY I WASNT IMPRESSED I FOUND IT VERY DULL AND BORING SO NOT MUCH TO SAY ABOUT THAT!!
