Hello all, well finally made it to NZ, the weather isn't great but we're having a great time!
We're in Taupo at the moment where i did my sky dive the last time i was here!

We arrived in Auckland on the 24th and spent 2 days there just looking around the shops and went up the sky tower, the views are amazing up there.

Saturday we jumped on the Stray bus, our driver is Rob and he's as mad as! We were meant to spend the night at Hihai (hot water beach) but the weather warnings were so bad, so we headed straight to Raglan.
Once at Raglan the power was out so we sat with candles and a fire. There's only 7 on the bus so we all hung out together. We prepared dinner by candle light then we all went to the pub to watch the all blacks match!

Sunday we headed to Rotorua, we left 2 boys at Raglan as they never came back! We visited the Whaka village (thermal village) and spent the night at Base Hot Rocks! We're just making the trip up as we go LOL.

Monday we got up and spent the morning at the Polynesian pools, before heading to the Zorb! It was too cold and wet so we watched Marc, I guy off the bus do his Zorb. That evening we headed over to Uncle Boy's, he's built a new house for the backpackers, it's very different, Rob told him that i was there 4 years ago so he pulled out the photo album, and i found the picture of our group from that time!

This morning we left there and just went to the shopping mall before reaching Taupo,no skydives today as the weather is bad! Off out with the crew tonight so expecting a hangover LOL.

will put pics on as soon as cam.

Lots of love xx xxx xx
