... blue runs! Vaguely more under control nowadays but still seem capable of falling over, even when just standing still! The apres ski is great fun too, especially as it's usually a big group of us that go. Our last trip was quite eventful, as there was a complete whiteout and you could see literally nothing. Karla fell and banged her head, causing her to be stretchered off the mountain, Laura skiied off the edge of the run and I got vertigo and had to ...

... my age down a mountain road into Queenstown. Spent the day hanging around town there, and then relaxing in a café that night. I hiked around the area the next days and took in the views. Met up with a couple from Chicago, that were both very familiar with Reno, and had been there. Went out to the acclaimed Fergburger in Queenstown, and yes, it was amazing! It's own thing and flavor, but up there with In-N-Out and Awful Awful. Yum! Had a great ...

... phone to ring with an offer for the car. Rod and Fi did continue to look after us though, keeping us occupied with whole bunch of activities. Rod had his birthday bbq, which they invited us to and Fiona took us on a drive to a bunch of very swanky suburbs/beaches. On another day, they took us on a boat trip around the islands off Auckland, which was fab.

... own or something) so I'm trying to kill 16 hours in Auckland. I've already taken the free city bus tour (the highlight probably being when I saw a pub called the Edinburgh Castle), seen the harbour front and been up the sky tower. I might try go to the cinema tonight before I have to go back to the airport but we'll see. Can't wait to get to Australia!!

... s backpackermobile before following her to Europe. He'd left the documents at home, so the test drive was a trip to the North Shore where his mum made us tea and snacks and his mate who works for Honda did us an oil change. He even sorted us out a couple of CDs.<br><br>This Honda Accord is actually the whizziest car we've ever owned, with aircon, fuel injection, electric windows and roof, leather seats and the aforementioned CD and radio. The chief chauffeur also finds ...
