hope you are ok, it sounds like you are having a good time. I take it that you are missing of the north west corner of the island?? The Nelson\Abel Tasman side, which you really should try and visit as it is a spectacular part of the island

I never get any of your mails. My mobile and home numbers are both the same, and I am not going to the Maldives until 14th of November. Try emailing me at work [email protected] (nothing rude) Also when are you going to get a land line??
Love Adam

Hi all,
For the last couple of days I've been in the tiny alpine village of Arthurs Pass. Its absolutely beautiful here. I've done some really cool walks - some of which were a little bit scary!
Tomorrow I'm going to Fox Glacier which is on the West Coast. I'll probably stay there for a couple of days as I want to do a glacier walk. Then I'm off to Queenstown, but there are some many great places inbetween that I want to see. So tonight and tomorrow night I'm going to have to try to work out a travel plan.
Thats it for now, hope everyone is ok,
Rach.

Hello Chel
Those Photo's of the dolphins are brilliant much better than the one I took when I did the same swim!! Anyway How are you enjoying Christchurch, It's quite a cool place that reminds me of Stratford on Avon a little bit. Those two Penguin colonies I told you about are in a town called Oamaru which should be in the Lonely Planet guide. Not sure how easy it is to get to as I was in a camper van at the time. Make sure you have a bit of time to go to the Abel Tasman national part and do some hiking.

There are 2 glaziers for you to do walks on, I chose the Fox one it is the least busiest to get to. That side of the island is very beautiful but also VERY quite with not much to do
Anyway have a good time and I will speak to you soon
Love
Adam

Hi everyone,
Thanks for the messages .
Have had an amazing couple of days; have piloted a plane, been whale watching and saw two whales, and then yesterday I went swimming with dolphins which was absolutely incredible.
I arrived in Christchurch today and am staying at the Chester Street backpackers which seems ok. It's about a 10 minute walk from the centre. Not sure what I'm going to do here yet. Will explore the city tomorrow, its supposed to be beautiful. Have to look in my Lonely Planet to see what else to do - if anyone knows something good to do in Christchurch let me know. I'm contemplating looking for a job here, but to be honest I probably wont. In that case as soon as I've seen everything in Christchurch I'm going to catch the TranzAlpine train from Christchurch to Greymouth (east to west), possibly stopping at Arthur's Pass for a couple of days as its supposed to be beautiful up there and there's still snow there. The TranzAlpine takes you up through the mountains and is supposed to be one of the most beautiful train journey you can do. After this I'll probably stop at the Fox Glacier for a glacier walk before heading to Queenstown.
Of course all thiscould change, but thats the plan at the moment.
Bye for now,
love Rach.
ps - Matt I don't believe you DJ would never be a woman! I think you are just trying to wind me up (but I'm still going to check the net anyway)
Jen - yup noticed you spelt my name wrong, but just thought that it was something new you decided to call me!

Hi everyone
Thanks for leaving messages. I'm in Wellington at the moment, and today the weather is crap (it was lovely yesterday). Am leaving on Sunday to go the South Island. Was supposed to go to Palliser Bay and some LOTR sights today, but it was cancelled so I'm going to a seal colony instead.
Bye for now,
