New Zealand

We've had an AMAZING time in NZ, the time has absolutely flown. The south island is very different to the north and even more stunning.

We travelled for the month with Nina, a lovely German girrrrrl, who actually understands sarcasm! The scenery is breathtaking, seems like every corner you turn it gets even better - just check out the photos (the links should be below, or just get yourself on facebook, my name on it is SJ Rennie)

One of the best things we did was in Kaikoura on the south island where we swam with 200 wild dusky dolphins. You forgot how cold it was when the started playing with you, they loved to make you swim in circles, wonderful animals. We did a heli hike up to the Franz Joseph Glacier, I love helicopters!! Loads of gorgeous walks, particularly around Marlborough Sounds on the Queen Charlotte track at the north of the south island. The spectacular Fiord Land (yup the Kiwis spelt fjord wrong!) , very fun Queenstown and the tranquil Wanaka. It's grrrrreat how much we've managed to fit in, wish we had more time here....

Gordon even managed to do the Nevis bungy jump from a cable car - something I was not even remotely tempted to do.

Now we're back in Auckland, next stop Thailand........
