New Zealand

North Island

I've managed to get the slowest computer in the world EVER, so amlacking the patience to write a looong entry, will try soon when I can find a computer that doesn't run on potatoes.

New Zealand is absolutely stunning and we've only seen the north island. We flew into Auckland and spent a few days there with Bindu. Managed to fit loads in and then hired a car for the next month to travel both islands. Managed to see most of the major sights, bay of islands, hot water beach where we were the only ones mad enough to watch the sunrise from a big holes dug in the sand while it was 10 degrees brrrrrrrrrrrrr but very warm in the hole!
Black water rafting in Waitomo which was amazing, abseilied in, saw loads of glow worms while serenely drifting through the cave on an inner tube then rock climbing back out.

Hmmmm what else...... Gordon sky dived... loads of walking (or tramping as they say here) especially the Tangariro crossing near Taupo which is of course gorgeous. Through volcanic craters, emerald green lakes all with stunning views.
