Dad 20 cm of snow outside - and you talk about summer... :) b***** with the accident - but hopefully you have learned to be more careful and use some protection? Is the hand OK now? Cheers, Dad

Moshra Hey mate, u lucky git! Summer... all we got here is snow and cold weather, its really unpleasent going outside here... So i try to avoid going outside when i dnt have to, but somethings just have to be done, need to go to uni, to GF etc. Ud better watch urself a bit out there, must have sucked not being able to use ur left hand, had the same once after going snowboarding. Anyway enjoy ur summertime out there and keep us updated!

DK Mum Hey D. Wish summer vacation was here. I could go for some hot springs too :)

Brian Happy Birthday my dear boy - once again :) Its good to hear that your friends and family gave you an unforgettable day! I have seen on FB that Laurin is becoming quite a marksman and doing pest control around the area. Do you shoot well too? Sounds nice and a little scary with the diving in the springs, cold and deep, but rewarding. Have fun at the IEC's place! Cheers, Brian

Jerry Daniel talked to your mother and she pointed me to your blog since I had asked how you were enjoying NZ. Your trip to S Is sounds like you had a blast. I would be terified to bungy jump and if there was one thing naval aviation taught me was never jump out of a perfectly good airplane. Glad you are having a great time. We didn't do the exciting things when your mother was with us those many years ago. Enjoy the rest of your time in NZ . Jerry O'Connor

Moshy nice post, i saw the vid earlier and im kinda jalous :o Gief more posts like this ^^

Mor Sorry - I pressed the wrong star causing your rating to fall from 5 to 3 stars. 5 it deserves ***** :)

Mor Thank you for taken me on the south island tour as well with this fabulous blog entry.

Far What a fantastic story and vivid language - your english is amazing. I smiled, laughed and got tears in my eyes while reading. Super blog! Keep 'em coming! And so cool with all the photos and video on facebook. I don't know where you get the guts from but it's clear that you enjoy being a daredevil.

NZ Dad Well done on this blog Daniel. It is a well worded account of your South Island tour. A very enlightening and interesting read. You have put a lot of effort into this but it is well worth it my son. (I guess you will be up late this morning as a result - lucky the school holidays are still on)

Tina Rudolph Hej Daniel, dejligt at høre du stadig har det skønt, vi sender dig snart nogle fødselsdagspenge! Ha en skøn tur til sydøen - din heldige kartoffel;0) De varmeste tanker og knus fra os i vipperød;0)

Søren Hej Daniel, OK det lyder jo ikke lige som om du keder dig, bare du nu ikke bliver så forvent med oplevelser at du slet ikke kan komme ned på jorden igen!!! Hilsen fra Nyborg, hvor vi lige har haft besøg af dine forældre og Rebekka.

farmor Jeg skriver til dig på dansk ellers vil det tage adskillige timer at sende en hilsen. Håber din tur til det sydlige NZ bliver rigtig god. Oplevelser kan jeg læse der er nok af, glæder mig til at se billeder. Skønt at tale/se dig i lørdags. IT er nu en fantastisk ting. Hà det godt min dreng. Masser af knus fra farmor
