Fiji Time

My "Bure" at barefoot lodge, Dawaquai Island, Fiji



The "Spirit of the Pacific" at sunrise which I had to slum on for 4 days travelling form paradise island to island. Freddie was the most important on the boat as he was in charge of the bar.



One of the islands I snorkelled on, lovely coral, saw a 1 metre reef shark and didn,t even poop myself.


Waitomo Caves

Went black water rafting through Waitomo caves in complete darkness, only light from the glow worms and headlamp. 

Fox Glacier



Climbing through a hole in the glacier.

View of the glacier from half way up.

Sky Dive 15,000 Feet

Oh my God!!!!!!!!!! Jumped out of a perfectly good aircraft and paid them money for the privilege.











Had a lump of coal between my cheeks and when I landed it had turned into a diamond. Even my shit was scared!!! 



Who needs drugs when all you have to do is take 2 teaspoons of cement to harden the f@#k up and jump out of a plane!
 Off for the victory drink or 2

Kia Ora

Hi all, been busy in the widerness with hardly any access to internet.

Been doing all the tourist stuff in Auckland, Skytower, casino (won $150 dollars), harbour cruise, maritime museum, naval museum & drinking copious amounts of alcohol.

Have been travelling round the north islands for the past week and sailing to the south island this evening.

Been busy, Bay of Islands sailing on a yacht, sea kayaking, 50 metre swing at 150 kph in 2 seconds, several bike rides and yesterday a 20km walk across the Tongarria alpine crossing with a peak of 1960 metres. Ache a tad today.

Booked a sky dive 2 days ago which was cancelled 1 hour before take off due to weather, totally stressed for nothing!!!!!!!! Will jump in Queenstown now instead!

Nice to see the weather is so nice at home LOL.
