Hey hey!

Cheers from New Zealand!
We've been here for a couple days now. Can't think of a better place to spend Easter - other than home of course :)
Its been great so far. On friday we flew to Auckland... at different times. It turned out ok though. Kev as in my brother and his friend Thomas picked Kristine up at the airport and then Thomas went off to a date and Kev and Bean hung out all day together - never saw that one ever ever happening. I guess thats why they never say never. Turned out alright though! I got in really late and the boys were kind enough to pick me up to. Crashed as soon as I got to the hostel. Well tried to...a car alarm went off for a couple of hours so definately didn't sleep during that.
After less than 11 hours in Auckland for me, we flew to Christchurch and then on to Queenstown. We started descending inbetween moutains that looked just wider than the plane's wings and the airstrip is on the only flat piece of land in the mountainous valley.
So Queenstown......
absolutely breathtaking and amazing and reminded us incredibly of Banff. Same atmosphere, same touristy feel, same outdoorsy vibe, good night life. Really awesome place and would love to go back.
Today we picked up the car and drove towards Wanaka, stopping at Katarua Bridge to jump 43m attatched to a large elastic band. FANTASTIC. I screamed a little. Touched the water with my hands and unintentionally with the top of my head, but the weather was great - blue skies and a relatively decent temperature. So wonderful. I will definately be posting pictures soon.
But for now I have to get off before my minutes run out, so until next time:
don't worry, I'm safe and unhurt. The bungy jump actually did wonders for my back.
And happy easter!!!
Sweet as!
