hey! stil in rotorua! i tell you one great thing about being on tour - no dorm rooms, ensuite bathrooms and hot tubs!! our first 2 nights we spent going from tub to tub meeting the people on tour drinking nice cold beverages....! bliss when i think back to it! the girl with me and gav is diane, a canadian girl and a girl i spent a lot of time with, got on really well and plan to see again in canada one day! she helped me do my sky dive too, there was her all calm me not quite so but ill save that tale for another day! so anyway here we are enjoying the new zealand lifestyle!




this is gav and i in the maori village, these guys gave us a bit of a show including the famous haka, which was fantastic to watch! we just couldnt resist getting a pic with them afterwards! how touristy are we!!!



our next stop was the beautiful lake taupo, we didnt have the best weather here but we had a lot of fun as the pics suggest! one of the bars we went into you had to drink a shot while doing the limbo to get in! so heres me, didnt spill a drop, alright yes i have a big mouth!! had a really good night out, first time out with everyone, and discovered someone on the bus had ghds so i was in paradise!! cnat remember much about the night apart from having a bloody good time!




this is another one of the hot springs we went in, its just so strange going in these hot springs and it being so hot! some parts are literally boiling and you just cant stay there! so lovely to relax in and it doesnt smell in lake taupo either! we also visited a mini niagara falls waterfall in lake taupo the name escapes me but they were cool! only there an afternoon and night but had a bloody good time!!!


thats all for now folks, in melbourne and i think my long lost english friends are taking us to the beach! love you and leaving you! s and gx
