Hey :) Well, it is now 6 weeks since I arrived in Queenstown and I have been having a complete blast the whole time (especially at night!) Snowboarding was SO much fun - ended up with huge bruises but had a wicked time on teh slopes with Charlotte. We did 1 day skiing and then 2 days boarding as all the lessons were included with our pass and al...

On the way to Queenstown we had to pass through the mountains via the Hast Pass, which was a very scenic drive. Not only that, along the way we also crossed the 45th Parallel, which is a big deal because only in 3 countries in the world can you cross this line half way between the south pole and the equator (these are Chile, Argentina and NZ). I...

Hey! Again, sorry it has been so long. Since I last updated I have just been having so much fun - and like Stray promises it took us so far off the beaten track that I have had very little internet or mobile reception. Wellington was awesome :) It was the last time that the original bus would all be together as some had time to only do the North...

Its 7.45am. We're on another green bus. I'm hearing weird whisperings, 'Ferg Burger' .......'Ferg Burger'...... Quick look at Caroline and Julia. Am i hearing things and really gone crazy or can they hear it to??? Great, we've got a weird bus driver whispering into the mic. Luckily he turns out to be weird funny as we have a long day on the bus ...

Monday - Canyon Swing DDay! Agghhhhhhh! Well a lie in was difficult. From 6am I'm awake contemplating if I'm going to be able to jump - or wobble off the platform.... Trying to distract myself i cook some breakfast (hope it will stay down!). When the post office opens i go for a walk over there to see if my Debit card has finally arrived along ...

bungy off the first commercial bungy site, Kawarua(?) bridge and there was only me doing that one toga party (will take pics this time) milford sound explorer (missing rugby in Dunedin - bugger) travelling back to up christchurch

i had written a long, detailed entry but the computer crashed and i lost it all. so, i'm going to keep this short and sweet. highlights of the south island of new zealand: 1) hiking abel tasman coastal track with jimmy--27 beautiful kilometers of fern forests, beaches, and ocean coves in one incredible day 2) ice climbing on franz joseph glacier...

I am people no mere mortal, I surpassed the achievements of man, I have touched heaven and seen God...well that is what the certificates from the THREE bungy jumps I did say on them and I would like to think there is a little truth in them. Thrillogy, as it is known in Queenstown, is the feat whereby the 3 AJ Hackett, the father of bungy jumping...

Well my dedicated readers, it has been some time since my last blog and I bet you are all ready for the next one like a crack addict is ready to mug for his next fix :) The first thing I think you all need to know is I've fallen in love. We love each other so much I can bear to be away for to long. Her name is Fergburger!!! This place is one of ...

The next morning was early start as it always seems to be of late. Still buzzing from our sky dive we boarded the kiwi bus and located our fellow sky dive buddies and continued to talk about how great it was! Yet again the scenery that flashes past us looks like a scene out of lord of the rings and continues to impress us (for as long as Bev can...
