Good Luck We have read of your adventures with great interest and admired your courage in undertaking not only the trip itself but in testing yourself against the challenges you undertook (the dvds of the bungy jump are not comfortable viewing!) It was truly a trip of a lifetime and you were so right to do it now. Anybody else reading this and wondering (especially the person's family members) - go for it!!! I wish I had had that kind of opportinity when I was a younger person. STA and Traifinders, Singapore Airlines and Kiwi Experience are all professional organisation as are the hostels and adventure providers. Have no fears - Just don't take apples into NZ!!

Even better!! Two more baths. One in mud and then one in a stream. Dolphins must have been special. Interesting how the two cultures accomodate each other (no not dophins) the Maori and the non-Maori regarding the sacred areas. Nothing really like that at home.

Hmmmmmm Franz Joseph, one of the best places on earth... although I guess slightly less beautiful in the rain! Oh I'm so jealous, we had to come home so soon! Its great to read all about it and so great to follow your route in my head. As you walk and eat and travel, be where you are otherwise you will miss most of your life - enjoy it tl xx
Coeeeee! Hello! So far sounds like your having the time of your life! This is somethin you are certainly never going to forget! The pictures looked amazing! What are the chances of meeting a guy from Norwich when your in New Zealand - very strange - at least you'll have someone to talk to about Norwich City, by the way they are doing really poor at the moment!
Looks like i wont get to see you before i go to Uni as im off in two weeks! Excited and nervous so we'll have to have a good catch up when its the hols - by the way you havent said to much about the men over there, better than the English?!?!?! Anyway its great to keep hearing from you, take care Love xKerryx

Got your earlier message, sounds like Greece was hot! Snorkling sounds amazing, I might get a chance to do it near the end of my trip, see how finances and opportunities go!
It will be the day before my bday that I'll be at home as I land 23rd, home 24th and travel 25th. I still hoping that I can find time to do something with all of you still at home before I leave, but time will tell (Or folks will dictate ;-P)

Lookign Good Camera seems to be ok. Nice small jpegs, keep it up. Did I miss something on the picture of the fern? Thought you looked a bit chocolate eyed on the close up portrait - must have been the altitude! Where was the pink-un? XX R

Sounds like ure having an amazing time out there, bet you won't want to come home at the end of it!

Take care! xkerryx

Hmmm, I hate having to write this little Biography pieces!
Suppose all I have to say is that I've never been on a plane before, only ever left the UK to go abroad to France, and now I'm off to New Zealand for a month on the Kiwi Experience. Here I hope to keep everyone (who for one reason or another might be slightly interested in my escapades) up to date with what I'm doing, though don't expect daily updates! I may start with good intentions but you know the story!... full info
