The Sun has set

The sun has set for now on my travels. As I try to get back into 'normal life' I start to drift away to far off places and begin to imagine where I was this time last year and what i was doing? Why do I torture myself?

The sun may have set but have no fear it will rise again!

As the sun starts to set on this year of traveling I look back and smile!

The people I have met the times that I have; many happy and fun, but some also sad! That is all part of the adventure. But as with all sun sets, it rises again. so I question where is next on my journey? Will it take me home for good or will I ever be roaming?

One of the greatest things that I have had is to share the moments with others! That has truly been a blessing!

Well it was amazing but at times rather scary!

To start with I was nervous but I settled down after hanging around for 2hrs! It wasn't until we dropped someone out at 12000ft that I started to get nervous again.

The guy in front jumped out and then my tamdem instructor started pushing me forward! As I sat on the edge of the plane I thought 'This could hurt!'

We leaned back then she through us out! I did not realise we were tumbling for a bit. Then the rush of wind and the frezing chill of it hits you!

Being so high up just seemed unreal! Looking out ver the edge of the bungy jump was more scary! The view awesome, the rush amazing, the price expensive but worth every penny!

Wow Wow Wow

Wow!!!

Today i completed the Nevis bungy jump, all 134m of it!

It was awesoe the feeling was amazing! Your legs are strapped together and then you have to shuffle to the edge of a swinging cage and then dive forward! The feeling as yuor urtling downwards is out of this world! I did think as I leap out 'I hope this works!'

All you can see is the river comming towards you at such speed and then suddnely you start to slow down, next your heading away from the river! My heart was pounding, the adreniling pumping and my bum was flapping!

It was so worth it! Would I do it again? Yeah, just higher!

Well this is the New Mansion!

No too bad, 0-60 in nearly a day, handles like a skip on 4 bars of soap, makes more noises than a student the morning after freshers week!

But it is fun! I have picked up a hitch hiker, poor guy! He had to listen to me for nearly 2 hours! Helped some people jump start their car, the next day they passed me and we had a conversation at 80kmh! Not the safest! After that we stopped and had lunch together!

It is great fun meeting strangers and chatting to them. I met an older couple and lent them some cooking gear, after a while they said that they owned a B&B and that i should pop in! Not bad hey!

Also met a couple of guys that have invited me round the winery they work at! Life is cool!

As I am travelling round New Zealand I decided that I would do it by myself. It all seemed like a great idea at the time but every now and then I wish I had someone with me!

I think it is healthy for me to spend sometime by myself as it is something that i have always struggled to do. Yesterday I picked up a hitch hiker and took him to Dunedin with me!

New Zealand is a beautiful country and the every where you look there is another mouth opening view. I will post some pictures soon.

Gill do you get my emails?
