Hi there, We are currently in Queenstown in the south island of New Zealand. We have just been bungy jumping, well Rob has been jumping, Steph has been watching on in terror. After our last blog entry we spent 4 days in Sydney, catching up with a few friends, doing the tourist things such as open topped bus trip, the ferry to Manly beach, a day at coogee to Bondi cliff walk, climbing the Sydney harbour bridge ( this allowed us to dress up in very attractive ju...
