Kia Ora, from South Island NZ

Been here since last Friday and I'm having a fab time!!!! Although a tad sun burnt

Done 3 bungy jumps including the nevis, and just this morning went whale watching! Managed to get sea sick and spew over the side though

Anyway just wanted to check in on you lot

Ps. TUI Rocks!!!!

Errr yup I do, not back for another 2 weeks though, so you'll have to wait

hehe I like kia ora but i havent seen i sold anywhere for ages, has anyone else?

Nice one, I was out there for six weeks and just got back via Hong Kong on Sunday.
I didn't do a bungy jump this time round, but I did do the Nevis the last time I was there and that thing is insane.
I did the whale watching at Kaikoura this time and was lucky enough to see 8 whales, which is an above average count.

Try and do a helicopter flight over the Franz Josef and Fox glaciers if you get the chance, it is fantastic, especially when you land on the snow fields above the glaciers.

Oh yes, Tui does indeed rock, although I think Speight's Gold Medal Ale comes in a close second.

Asda sells Kia Ora.

I did the coach trip to Milford Sound (meeting some of those clever parrot things on the way) and flew back over the glaciers by plane. To this day, it's probably the most spectacular scenery I have ever ever seen. Utterly stunning, if you get the chance, sell the missus to do it.

new zealand is amazing, its going to places like that that make me want to work hard at uni so i can get the money to go later in life.

Love it over there, might want to emmigrate.

PaulStat · 9 Feb 2006 at 22:00

Well I did promise some pics so here we go.

Today we have Queenstown, where I stayed for two days, did 3 bungy jumps, a canyon swing and went to a bar which was all made of ice

More will follow over the following days as it's taking me quite a while to go through.
