We're in Queenstown at the moment which is one of the best places we've been. It's surrouded my mountains and lakes and you can do pretty much any activity you want here. It's and Adrenalin junky paradise!
Before I get to that though we flew into Christchurch which was a nice city. Stayed in a converted prison which was pretty cool. We picked up our 3rd and final 'Wicked' campervan here and it's the nicest one yet. It's never been used so it's clean, smells nice, has air con, power steering and new bedding! lush! Plus everyone campervans here so we don't stand out as much and meet more people.
We first drove to Mt Cook which is snow capped, even now in summer and did a pretty cool walk round there on the day of my birthday. We then came here, to Queenstown and have booked our skydive for tomorrow at 2pm our time. We'll be diving from 15,000ft with a 60 second freefall. It's safe to say that I am pooing my pants at the prospect but I'm determined not to bottle it! Yesterday we did a jet boat ride on a river which was really good and then did a luge ride on one of the mountains looking over the town. Everyone here is bungy jumping mad and I'm off to watch a lad we met do the worlds second largest one this afternoon (200 meters I think it is). Me and the Vikster don't really fancy it though having watched some people do it the other day.
Anyway, alls good, no disasters to report at the minute. Will let you know how the skydive go's!
PS - Two fingers up to all you City fans! We're still gonna win the league!
Pics to follow!

City were lucky!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ow do you two, hope you are both fine and dandy.
Still sounds that you are really enjoying yourselves. Danny I don't know how you managed to do a scuba dive at night, I would have actually shat me load in the water(you do look a little shellshocked afterwards), vicki you were right not do proceed with this venture i would have been the same.
How cool is the camper van? Was that a go faster stripe on the side that i saw?
I don't know if you watched that pile of shit on sunday but it was the worst performance i have seen by united for a long time, think the occasion seem to get the better of them. Luckily watched it at home and not in the willow so did'nt have to put up with a torrent of abuse from Barry, Gary and Jimmy.
Hope the sky dive has gone ok for you both, again that sounds amazing and i'm sure it was?
Continue to enjoy and speak to you both soon!!!
