Mt Doom and thermals
We've travelled back across the Cook Straight to Wellington. This time it was a nicer sailing experience as I'd taken some sea sickness tablets. We left the sunshine of Picton and arrived in a grey and cold Wellington. But we weren't there for long.

The Final Stop of a 'sweeeeeeet as' Journey...
So the one thing I said I'd never do was a bungy jump. What have I just done? Only the Nevis Bungy jump in Queenstown and what a thrill! It all started with my alarm not going off and waking up with 2 minutes until I was supposed to be checking in. I grabbed whatever I had and ran out of Base hostel to the Bungy jumping centre. On the way I bumped …

The amount of beer that was purchased by our overloaded bus in the hostel in Makarora was "7 drinks, and one was a coke …

We stayed in the stray bus section of the hotel and the rooms were nice. The ensuite was great but would have been better if it wasnt one of those 'keep the button pushed in for water' showers.
