kiwi Experience




Sorry it has been a while since we last updated the blog but we have been having far too much fun! after leaving Fiji we spent two nights in Auckland, where we spent two lovely evenings with Staceys friend Abby, thanks Abby for dinner!! yummy!



We then headed on the Kiwi Experience, with a bunch of strangers, all slightly random and a fair bit younger then us! but it only took a few beers and a few swift dance moves before we all realised we were destined to be together on this trip!! After the second night we became a little family, cooking for each other, doing each other washing and sharing a 16 person bed!! Today is very difficult as we all split up and its going to be emtional!!



ayway....apart from serious bonding we have actually been up to a fair bit....we went White Water rafting which was really good fun and we didnt fall out! even though the instructor did! we also did Black Water Rafting which was in caves on tubes - amazing! We then all went to Sky Dive, Stacey went up first and had an amazing expience, pretty awesome! You have too wait and see the video!! Unfortunately Debbie and Katie got up in the air but the weather was so bad we got sent down again, we still havent done one so fingers crossed the weater is ok in Franz Joseph or we will have to wait till OZ I think.

We have spent the last couple of days with the group, having such a good time, lots of nights out and just generally amusing ourselves when the weather has been bad.

This morning (Wednesday) we had to leave them all behind (except Kevhead and Jimbob! who were lucky enough to be travelling the rest of New Zealand with us!) and got on the ferry to the South Island. We had a really awful cooked breakfast! (Kiwi guys if you are reading this dont have a cooked breakfast when you set sail!) but we are now in Nelson a lovely little p lace with a gorgeous hostel in an old pub. It has a beer garden and we got a bit sentimental with the boys when we thought of the others and what fun we would have all had if we had gone together....but hey ho we can be strong and try and make new friends!!!

Cannot remember what is in store for us over the next few days so will try and let you know as we do!! Hope all is well at home, please leave comments as we love to read them

I've been having a really stressful day at work and have taken time out to look at your blog.... and it has really cheered me up! I'm so glad you're all having such a good time and the photos look great - keep them coming! I hope Debs and Kate get a chance to do the sky dive.
Love Katie (big sis)xx
