Spent a night here then the following day we were booked in for Tubing. This was such a cool day, basically we had to drive out to this warehouse way up in the mountains where we all got changed into wet suits, hard hats & welly boots then we had to walk to the entrance of a cave... The weather was so bad & had rained loads so whilst walking to the cave Eilish & me spent most of our time on our backsides as kept slipping over ha ha. When at the cave we had to go ...

Well thanks to Rachels bro Paul I had 3 wonderful nights here in a house after not being in one for 4months & had a lovely double bed plus home cooked yummy food, when it came to leaving I could have cried or easily got on a plane back home ha ha.

We got to go on a Hagglund on some made up track, go in an antartic storm plus stand in front of a wind chill machine which I braved till it dropped to -21... I was sooooooooooo cold. The next day we just...

Also spent 2 nights here & again my luck was to be jinxed.... I had planned to spend a day skiing here & go white water rafting but that wasn't to be!! The ski runs were to open in a weeks time & there was enough peeps booked up to go rafting, so as u can imagine I was totally gutted again ha ha. We ended up speaning 1 of our days here driving to Milford sound where we had a 1 1/4hr cruise. Liam was in fits of laughter at me as I thought the reason for going ther...
