Hey!

Just arrived in Sydney. Been pretty mental the last week. Ended up staying at a friends house (she is a wedding photographer for mums information)and crashed on the sofa for almost a week in melbourne. Wicked place...been chilling on the beach during the day and partying at night... hanging out with a load australian and canadian guys who were awsome. Had a huge bbq at the girls parents house with a load of people and became champion of australia at uno (card game)!! Left melbourne a few days ago....spent a night at lakes entrance south of melbourne. Ended up going to the beach and hanging out with other backpackers with a few beers....took my guitar and we had a singalong which was really good fun. Spent a night at some random place last night outside of sydney...went swimming in the lake and played a load of crazy canadian drinking games and some pool and watched sum live music. Reckon im gunna be in sydney for about 5/6 days and then im gunna go to a surf camp north of sydney.hich should be cool!! Thats pretty much it for now.... keep u all updated soon.

Yep its time for me to leave New Zealand now. Ive had such an amazing time. Its such a cool, chilled, friendly place with unbelievably beautiful scenery and some absolutely awsome beaches and lakes. If i come back to england and say keep saying "sweet as bro" its lingo that ive picked up here in kiwi land! Ive met some wicked(and not so wicked) people here. Im sad to leave...though really looking forward to heading to OZ. Heard so many great things from people who have been there. Im gunna have to cut my trip from 9 weeks to 6 as i cant afford to stay there that long...though it will give me a bit more time in south east asia which will be amazing im sure.

Ive been in Christchurch for the last couple days. Its probably the worst place ive been to so far in NZ. Its too english and there nothing to do here. Luckily theres been a free festival on the last couple days which has passed the time. My flight is at 6 in the morning...so probably not gunna sleep tonight and just hang out at the hostel till the shuttle taxi picks me up at 3. So long NZ.....

Speak to u all soon.

Hi everybody,

Im currently in Queenstown. Which is nicknamed the adreniline junkie capital of the world as there is so much to do here and so many activities! I did the Nevace bungy jump the otherday. It was amazing...though difficult to describe how scary it was without using a swear word.... but u get the gist. Ive got a dvd which i will show u all when im back and u can see for yourself. Went to Lake Wanaka (careful how you pronounce it) before queenstown. Saw a really cool live rock band called badtown (name sounds like a boy band though). Stayed in a hotel as there was no hostels there which was pleasant...though still had to share with 3 other people. Sooo missing my own bed...constantly people snoring/coming in drunk in the early hours. A drunk 38 year old indian/english guy got arrested in my room while i was sleeping the other day..woke up with police men in the room at 6am...was quite funny...and i was relieved as he snored like a dinosaur! was horrificly painful!

Met a really cool German guy from my room...he had an acoustic guitar and we chilled out be the lake all day yesterday playing tunes and stuff...i definately want to get a cheap guitar while im away. All my friends who ive been travelling with have gone off to do other things now so im currently hanging out on my own.

Anyways..im in queenstown untill the 17th and then off to Christchuch, my final destination in New Zealand! Il keep u updated!

Hi everyone,

Ive again been busy since i last spoke. Ive been in the South island since the 2nd of Jan now. Went to Nelson first. Had a great day of wine tasting....me and a load of freinds brought some wine and walked up a small mountain to the very official centre of new Zealand and watched the sunset..was great fun. Visited some amazing scenery and done some more hiking and exploring over mountains and around lakes....been good excercise!! Went to a party a couple days ago after heading further south. It was a bin bag theme (basically involved making a costume out of bin bags)....was pretty funny.. i need to upload the photos and see if you can guess what i went as...was hilarious but quite embarassing.

Im currently in Franz Josef at the moment. Did an 8 hour hike over the amazing glaciers today. Climed over and through ice mountains and caves. Was absolutely amazing.

Im heading to queens town n a couple days. Im gunna stay there for about a week i think as there is loads of stuff to do. Definately gunna do a bungee jump (Nevace: 134m) and possibly a canyon swing....have to spend some more on my credit card i reckon! Off to australia in two weeks or so. Mite have to work there for a bit now to save some money for asia.

Anyways ive babbled enough for now. hope everyone is well. Speak soon. :]

Hi all and Happy New Year

Im at my last night in the North Island of New Zealand. Currently in the capital Wellington and off to the South Island tommorow....looking forward to do a 134M bungie jump off a cable car in queens town at some point.

Had a great night out for new years. Went to a toga party at the hostel and had to make a toga out of the bed sheets. Was quite funny and some how only managed to spend 20 quid.
Did a 15000 ft sky dive in Taupo the other day. Was absolutley amazing. Got a dvd of the jump which is hilarious and some wicked photos which i shall uplaod soon.

Did a 10 hour hike aswell across mount doom from lord of the rings....was pretty intense but worth it for the views alone. Met a few opther people at hostels who im travelling with at the moment.

Been chilling on the beach/harbour today....the weather has been awsome. Looking forward to more sun and scenery over the next couple weeks.

Catch up soon
