So the girls and I have been on the road since Auckland...
It's been rather cosy the three of us in a two birth campervan, but at least we haven't been getting cold, and it's been a great laugh.
We headed up to the Bay of Islands after leaving X Base Backpackers and my semi-final ,in the pool competition, (much to the dismay of all the men involved), where we took a boat around the bay and did some awesome Dolphin Watching as well as taking in the sites of the famous 'Cod Hole'?!
We then headed south to Rotorua where we spent the day bathing in the volcanic natural spa's, soaking up the Maori culture, and watched the beautiful lakes pass by on our journey even further south to Taupo, the out adventure capital of the North Island. We have booked ourselves on a sky dive for tomorrow, and even though I have been there before, I must admit that I am feeling rather anxious.... Guess I'll give you an update after the event... If I make it through alive!
It's pretty tricky to get to an internet terminal when you're on the road, especially when you are staying on campsites, sometimes without electricity let alone a computer?!
The general plan is to carry on traveling South... To Turangi to do the 'Mokai fox free fall - 180m high at 160kph' then to Wellington and Picton and so on and so on.... We're planning on doing a major sporting activity in each place we visit... Black water rafting sounds quite cool and so does the Zorbing, but we'll have to wait and see if our nerves will be able to cope with the New Zealand sensory overload.
Missing home loads this week... Emma's wedding is coming up soon... Hopefully I'll get sent some good pics...
Till the next time...
