Welcome to the Jungle

Still sufering with a terrible cold, I took the stray bus to Milford sound, it snowed alot and took us ages to get out.

We then got stuck in Invercargill. There was really not alot to do there. We went bowling, I won for England and I got my highest ever score of 185. The roads were clearded and we headed back to Queenstown. My cold had cleared up but a still have a cough which annoys people in my dorms. Yesturday I did the long bus ride to Christchurch. Just relaxing here and organiseing myself brfore the cook islands -  I leave on Friday evening and arrieve Friday morning - back of the net!

Christchurch is apparently the most English place in the world outside of England. Having had a bit of a walk this morning I would have to agree. Its still very cold here. Its confusing as Wimbeldon is on the tele, yet people are drinking mulled wine in the bars.

Bring on the sun! 

Caught myself a bit of a cold, First time on the whole trip ive been ill. Not bad really. Spent most the day in bed, looking Forward to getting back on the Bus tomorrow. Queenstown really is one of the coolest places ive ever been, but you need alot of money and to be fighting fit. I completed the Thrillogy of Bungy Jumps yesturday. It was brill, the 134m Nevis Jump was so much better than the one i did of the bridge…

And then the ledge bungy over Queenstown at night was amazing in a different way - you can take a running jump! No photos of this as it was dark and im not paying for the offical ones.

Spent the First 5 days with old ‘Nam Buddies Matt, Jon and Sam. We did a road trip to Waitomo to do some caveing and the grew beards for Jons birthday on the Saturday.

We watched the All Blacks play france and shaved our beards into cool Moustaches. Unfortunately we were unable to find the sombreos and ponchos for our inteded mexican themed night. we keep the moustaches anyway.

I left the gang, shaved my ‘tach and caught a STRAY bus around the country. The sceneary had been awsome. Its very cold, ay, I had to buy a gilet from warehouse. Raff on my bus bought the same gilet as it was 2 for $18. Everyone takes the piss now when we both wear them.

We went to Waitomo and I did some more caeving, ay.

White water rafting next in smelly Rotorua. We did not buy any photos so this ones off their website.

Moved on to the south Island, It just gets more extreme and beautiful and cold!

Went Ice climbing on Franz Josef Glacier…

Went extreme yesturday. 15′000ft Sky Dive over lake wanaka in the morning…

and in the afternoon I did the 1st part of the Thrillogy bungy jump…

I celebrated with a nice pot of tea…

Relaxing In Queenstown for a few days, ay. Beer with Francois tonight, that Frenchman gets everywhere. Have 2 more bungys to do and probably some canoen swings. Then Im off around the south bit before heading to Christchurch and flying to The Cook Island next week, pretty sweat ay?

Sorry I have not updated this page in a while, ay. Have been really busy travelling the length of the country, seeing some amazing sites and doing extreme stuff, ay. Ill get some photos up here soon. Hope everyone is well. Im in Queenstown now and its bloody cold, ay. Spending alot of money, still have a bit left, anyone got a job for me when I get back? Here is a photo to keep you all amused….
