Okay you ready for this it shud be a complete update of my time so far of what i can remember anyway and im afriad there won't be any pics yet as it takes too long to upload. lets start/ the night before tjhe stray trip i went out in Auckland with 2 really cool swedish blokes nicknamed d*** and Dumb who i met in Paihei and 3 American girls who i met the night before we went to the -5 ice bar down by the harbour which was really cool literally (Ha Ha excuse the pun). Anyway said my fairwells probably see them another time though hopefully. Well the next day got on the bus at about 8 o'clock and about 15 of us headed of to Hahei saw Cathedrall Cove which was nice but the weather was overcast and went swimming at midnight with really big surf but it was really bizarr cos it was quite warm. the next day we headed of the raglan to the surf school hostel as i said before and i had a lesson really good fun got up quite a few times oh and mum a Foamy is made out of Foam with a hard bottom of slightly harder foam and rubber fins. the next day we left for Waitomo Caves and i went on and underground cave trip and saw the glow worms which where really cool when the lights are off but look like snot when u shine a light on them there the ones from the David Attenborough program we also saw some bones from and extinct flightless bird not a do do can't remember its name, aftre that we headed of for Roturuaonce there we all went out got to know every 1 alot better especially Wozz our bus driver, Dan and English bloke, Robyn a girl from the isle of white and 2 Sewdish girls called Anna and Petra (Swedish people are really nice and funny). Unfortunatly a load of people from our bus stayed in Rotorua including Dan so the next day there where only about 8 people on the bus. That day we went on to Taupo and went swimming in the lake which was really warm and then that evening went to the Hot Springs V relaxing there where only the five of us who where the one's from the orginall lot form Auckland special treatment Robyn stayed in Taupo. the next day was a really long bus ride to Wellington now only 3 from the originall bus me and the 2 swedish girls but loads of new people. once we got to wellington (finally) we relaxed but went out that night as it was the Swedes last night with me and Wozz good laugh. the next day i had to get up at about 6 oclock to get the bus so i could get the plane to picton and get on another bus but with the same driver. met loads of cool new people once we all got to Picton some went by Ferry we drove to Abel Tazman but the weather was really bad so didn't do anything special. after Abel Tazman we headed down to Barrytown where we stayed 2 nights the first night was very relaxed. the next day as bizarr as this sounds i made a knife from a piece of rusty iron, brass and wood will when i can put some pics on it is really cool and very satisfying. that night there was a big party in the pub all the girls had to design costumes out of bin bags and the blokes had to dress as women as alot of you know apparently i make a very good women but this time it went quite mad there was a competion to win a ski dive and i ended up dressed in a mini skirt loads of make up. anyway drank quite alot and was put forward into a competion by Wozz (Who was also dressed up) where i had to dance on the bar managed to get him up 2, well the long and the short of it is that i won the skydive and will hopefully doing it tommorow of day after (you won't see pics of this). well the next day today we travelled down to Frans Joseph and tommorrow i am doing a glacier hike. well thats about it sorry if i left anyhting out and sorry about the spelling. till next time.
