Hello! I'm sorry that it's been especially long since i last updated- been very busy rushing around the north island...Ross and Anna fly out today and I'm going to head up to the Bay of Islands to chill out then come back here to fly to Singapore on Friday to start the asia bit of my trip!
I've had a really great week- did a skydive which was amazing! It was over far too quickly though- I hadn't been at all nervous but the fear hit me like a wall when we fell out the plane so I'd love to do it again a bit more confident that I'm not going to die! It was brilliant though- absolutely loved it. Have done lots and lots of walking in the north island which has been great and my walking boots are now looking properly lived in, especially after the very tricky walk up the volcano that was used as Mordor in LOTR- did not know that volcanic rock was so bloody difficult to walk up! totally worth it for the stunning views though.
Then did some white water rafting which was great fun in Rotorua (a town which I could not stay in for any length of time due to the godawful stench of rotten eggs due to the sulphur of the thermal springs- went to 'Thermal Wonderland' which was truely beautiful but I thought I was going to vomit from the smell)...We had just rushed around which was great and it meant that we had a couple of days spare with which to go to a tiny little town called Raglan on the west coast in order to chill out. Stayed in this gorgeous hostel in the middle of nowhere right near to the sea where we had our own personal caboose as our room! Have been bitten a lot so my feet hurt...which leads me on to the other big news (mum you're going to be very unhappy)...
Here in auckland yesterday I went and got a tattoo (breath mum breath)...It is on my left foot and is quite big and very beautiful, designed for me by my artist friend Ruby and I really do love it- I will send you pictures when it's healed! It hurt A LOT but I was very brave and didn't cry or pass out or anything!
Love you all very much xxx
