Hello All

Well I have done a lot since the last entry to the Blog so i will try and keep it brief with just the highlights.

Left Auckland on the 18th for the Coramandel (Mercury Bay), really nice place and we hired some bikes to go out and see a bit more and then had a quiet night with homecooked spag bol for dinner and some darts and pool with the guys I had just met on the new south bound bus.

Then on the 19th we went down to Rotorua where there are lots of hot spa pools and natural geysers and mud pools and stuff. There we had a maori cultural evening which was awsome, where they sung and danced for us and we ate a traditional meal. Stunk a little bit though because of all the Sulphur but it didnt stop us partying til well gone midnight and the swimming pool at the hostel was more like a jacuzzi it was soo warm!

On the 20th we headed further south to Waitomo and there we did 'black water rafting' which was amazng as we were in underground waterways and we got to see glow worms and jump of waterfalls and all the time we were underground in our tubes.

Then on the 21st (today) we headed down to Taupo and I have just Sky dived! It was the most awsome experience! The weather was perfect and the views were spectacular of Lake Taupo from 15,000feet up and we could almost even see both shores of the North Island! If anyone hasnt done it then at some point you should!

Anyway thats pretty much it in brief at the mo, although Im sure I have missed some stuff out! Chow for now x
