hello all,

long time since my last update so been doing quite a bit! since diving i had a few days chilling out in sydney before flying to NZ on saturday. met up with nick (housemate) and a few of his friends from elective in christchurch went for a beer or two before heading off to the west coast with kiwiexperience. had a couple of stops on the way down the coast from greymouth to franz josef glacier.

the scenery is amazing over here and the weather has been pretty good for the 'we(s)t coast'! have done jet boating and sky diving over the last few days...sky diving is awesome! had a crazy kiwi girl (keri) as my instructer and she wanted a rest on teh way down so let me fly the parachute for most the way! anyway...photo's coming soon!

one of the guys that jumped the jump after me with keri and had a bit of a scare!!!! their parachute didn;t open so they had to cut it off and depoly their spare!!! think keri had more of an adrenaline rush than dave as dave just thought she was doing it on purpose until they got to ground and keri started hugging everybody!!!

off to do a 8 hour glacier hike on the franz josef glacier tomorrow morning so gonna be shattered after that! planning to head down to qeenstown via wanaka over the next few days! anyway photo's to come soon!

thats enough from me for now, au revoir.
