Well New Zealand, the Sunshine state, ahh oh I believe that is Florida?
New Zealand was a blast, I wish I would have wrote in my journal alot sooner arther that 4 weeks after it all stated. I guess I better start then.
Well I flew in from Melbourne happy/ sad to leave, but it was good to finally leave the country on towards a now one. Got to my hosted around 9 pm that night and just hung around till Dane got there at around 1 am that omoring or so. That night we just hung around the I was going to show him a few photos. Sadly the camera was not in my bag. Went to bed tossing and turning I finally came to the conculsion that I must have left it in the cab. The new day I in fact got it back, due to the honesty of some good people. The next day me and dane went and explored Auckland a little. When down town and towards the warf, it was alright. on our way back from downtown and window shopping danes sandle broke. he walked around with the broke sandle for quite a few blocks thjen I decide to give him mine and I would walk in my bare feet. Not fun, the pavement was quite hot. Ahh it was all in good fun. We finally made it to a sports shop clse to our hostel. The next day a guy from out hostel named owen.
Then we were off with our buddy Cheeze, ( "oh didn't we lock you in a locker?" "I got out"). We slowly made our way to Mercury bay. I was not that bad a little rainy.
Well I'm going to leave the middle section till later so I can write down all the town names and places I went to and dates.
Well I'm going to jump to queens town, which was a good end party to the whole kiwi trip. We came into queenstown on a particially clowdy day. Took a group photo( both busses) by the lake. That night got settled in and got ready to go shydiving and bungie jumping. We booked our skydiving and I had my bungie jumping booked for the thursday. Sadly I never got to skydive. But that thursday was awesome. I got to jump from 134m (440ft). Well details hey? Details you are going to get. I going up to the edge all pumped up then.. I froze. Shit! Well the guy game me a count, 5-4-3 and on three I jumped well it wasn't quite a jump, it was more a flexing of my knees then I just threw my torsouw over and the rest of my body followed. I had basically 8 seconds to think about how stupid I was. I was such a feeling the ground comming towards you at a rate you have never seen before. Just breathless the whole way down. Awesome!
Finally after like forever, I got my first bounce. Then realeased my strap on the second to site in my harness rather than comming up like a whole fownder, like most.
Got back to town and got ready to party. Oh did I mention that what we mostly did was party.
Well Drank alot of tea pots and met some pretty sweet roommates. Oh on that friday me dane, adam, micheal, alex, Charlie, Sarah and hannah went up the gondolla to have a luging race. On the second or third race I took out dane on the one corner and ripped his shirt. Also in a couple of photos you can see the cau I gave him the he wont stop letting me know what I did to him.
Christchurch? Cust? Next?
