bungy - no way!!
Mike and Victoria, what wonderful photos you have taken of this fantastic country. My dad was going to emigrate here when I was little but my mum's career prevented us - am I sorry now!! I cannot imagine anyone wanting to live in UK after having lived in NZ!! Shotover Canyon sounds fantastic and I spotted both of you in the pic but it was not a 'where's wally' moment was it? Plummeting to near death by rubber band is not my idea of fun so no way!! Parrots with balls, what next? Harwoods Hole looked eerie and no sign of Gollum or the hobbits. The seagulls have the ring didn't you know or is it the albatross who drops it in to Mt Doom, I can never remember the alternative ending!! Glad you enjoyed NZ. Lots of love, see you soon!! XXX
