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?

Bigger Picture

I have now left Sydney and landed in Christchurch, New Zealand. It was strange to leave Sydney as I had made so many great friends there and had such a great time, even felt like home!

Now I am back on the path of travelling on my own and meeting new peopel, not something that I am scared of but it is something that takes time, and also gives you times of lonliness when no one else is around. I guess it is all part of the adventure. Seems strange that I am also half way trough and I am again brought back to that place of heading out on my own as I did in the begining.

Travelling has been a real eye opener, you end up asking questions of yourself that you had never thought of before, sometimes the answers are not what you wnat either! I realise that we are all part of the bigger picture even though it is easy to think that the world evolves around you (me not you!) and easy to become small minded. I hope that I learn to be more open minded than I thought I was!
