This morning I didn't see Tom or Mark as I groggily trudged my way to breakfast. Today I could only stomach one piece of toast with jam instead of two and put down a few glasses of water. There has been a pretty gnarly cough and flu going around the bus and I had been struggling with it for the last two days. So i complemented my breakfast with some airborne and hot water. As i hopped onto the bus I quickly found the seat closest to the front, to minimize the motion I would feel and grabbed the second row seat. The bus had to leave late on the account of three of the girls from the tour woke up 5 minutes prior to the bus departure time. I looked behind and saw Tom and ... read more

After a much rough night and sleeping at 4am. I had to wake up at 6am to get ready for what would be one of the most adrenaline pumping days you can imagine. On the circuit for today was: 1. World's highest Cliff Jump and Canjyon Swings (x2) 2. Australasia's Highest Bunjy Jump 3. World's Highest Swing As I looked out the window I couldn't ahve asked for a better day. The sun was finally shining, clouds were scarce in teh sky, only a few stratus clouds. And it was HOT!!! Running off 2 hours of sleep I was doing surprisingly well this morning. I reckon it was probably because I was so excited about the heaps of things I was going to be doing. After my normal morning toast with jam I headed back to ... read more

This morning was quite a surprise. Woke up and as I stepped foot off my bed the ground was super warm. All I can say is warm floor in the morning is Awesome. After my shower, as i exited the bathroom my roomates exclaimed, "Did you see the SNOW outside!!" I looked out the window and sure enough everything was white! So much for a summer vacation and packing for the right weather. After breakfast which was pretty much toast for me, we all piled up in the bus and it ws determined that the trip song would be "I Got a Good Feeling, by Flo Rida" as we blasted the song first thing in the morning. Our first stop on the bus was this random old town where there were old trains around. And on ... read more

After reaching New Zealand I took a shuttle to Bealeys Hotel, where the Contiki tour began. Upon reaching I met a few of the fellas on the tour as they were in the courtyard throwing the old pigskin around. I quickly found out that a good majority of people on the tour were from Australia. In fact, I am writing this on day 3 of the tour, and I almost feel like I'm in Australia more than New Zealand since my interaction is mostly with them Aussies. The first night was chill we all hung out did all the necessary paperwork and then grabbed dinner and a few brews. I was still jetlagged so knocked out at 1 while a couple guys ended up downing a bottle of Smirnoff among themselves before going down around 2:30. ... read more
