We got in to taupo and had been told there was lots to do. Theweather wasent great so we were a bit hmmmm. We checked in and had a look in reception on what to do. In the end we decided to go for rafting level 3. I was a bit worried because i have never rafted before. As you can see from the pics i survived (Michael to) and we had so much fun. Part from that Taupo is a really nice place but again there is not so much to do in the town. We are heading back down t...

We arrived in Wellington in the afternoon the ferry time from south to north island is 3 hours. Michael slept and I watched Weeds. When we got of we got a taxi with 2 English guys who are doing the same tour as us somehow we keep ending up together.

As I said we did not have long so we just went for a quick walk and took some really nice pictures of the harbour. Have a look it is a really pretty place. After that it was on to Wellington

That would probably explain why there is a house built with bones from a whale. They are also known for having delicious fresh crayfish (what we in Denmark would call lobster) yum J. When we first got there I think both Michael and I thought "right, this is goin...

Our first stop of our over 5 month travelling begins in Christchurch on the east coast of the southern island of New Zealand. We where so tired when we got here because we had to get up at 5 am in the Blue Mountains. Michaels parents where kind enough to get up early as well had drove us the long way down to the airport. When we got in we check in to the hostel and had a little wonder of the city. Unfortunately it was a public holiday æwewpldkfj or som...
