well its been a long while since i last wrote! well since noosa, we went to Brisbane where it rained,surfers paradise where it rained, then byron bay, where it rained (but we had a great time in a place called cheeky monkeys) then we went to surf camp where it rained, then to sydney , where it rained. basically austrlia was experiencing a rain problem! Any way, we left for new zealand and are now with a group of 23! So we started off with a get to know eachother speed date style thing on the bus! then went up the aukland sky tower! we then went to our first destination Rotorua! its near where Lord of the rings was filmed-well the town is any way. The place we stayed was amongst the natural thermal springs-people had smoke coming out of their back gardens everywhere and it smelled a lot like sulpher-not nice! but we had hot tubs in our flats and tv so we were finally living in good accomodation! today me claire and a few others descided to do caving in st benedicsts cave! this included absailing down two cave holes-one was very chlostrephobic! then we did a flying fox (zip line) accross the cave over massive stallectites and stallecmites! very cool and to make it even scarier, we had to turn all the lights out and do it in pitch black! was brilliant and so pretty down there! our first night we just got to no eachother and went bowling! well some people! the next day we went up the ropad to a thermal village which i wont spell the name of it as its too long to even say! we had our lunch cooked in the boiling springs and bought products that use the thermal mud and minerals-great for the skin supposedly! so from there we left for taupo! We saw some awsome rivers and then to lake taupo! this is where me and several others did a 50ft bungee over the lake! it was so beautiful up there but we were all a bit nervous! one girl had to be pushed, was pretty funny! two of the guys volunteered to be dunked in the water as they plumeted towards the lake! very brake! it was an amazing experience but very scary as you thing you're falling to your death but nothing hurt and it was just rally fun bouncing around for a while before being lowered into a boat! last night was quiz night followed by the turning of claires 21st which we celebrated in a club called holy cow! think we had a good night but we're suffering today and her actual party is tonight in Wellington town! x
