Rotorua and the North
Argh, again frustrated at the lack of internet access (sometimes it is just Jim not letting me go. Heh.) So we got to Rotorua, Jim went on his rafting trip, and the rest of the day we took it easy....Read this update

Stinky Rotorua
Last night we went to a quiz night at a local pub and there was a quiz on famous faces--name them and split $150 with your team. Jim and I kicked butt and knew every person except 3 rugby sports...Read this update

North Island quitters
In Kaikoura, Jim signed up for the dolphin swimming and I signed up just to watch, since I am not "confident" in the water and it is stinkin' cold. The next morning we got up early to go and it...Read this update

Kaikoura
So we left Nelson after a day and went to Blenheim, without any real idea of what to do. We didn't kayak or do anything at the Abel Tasman park, mainly because we couldn't get excited for it. It is...Read this update

Carving Bone
We are currently in Nelson, the second biggest city on the south island. I am not ashamed to say that we were starving after the 4 hour drive and dying for McDonalds or Burger King. The town we were in...Read this update

Leaving Queenstown
We finally left Queenstown after two days and didn't do ANY "extreme" activities. Paragliding or whatever it is called sounded great. And Jim wanted to white water raft or go river sledging but it just wasn't the right time of...Read this update

So Much to Tell
I hate that I can't use the internet more, because I know I will forget stuff if I don't write it down. Not only is it hard to even find internet cafes sometimes, it is quite expensive. So....... we've done...Read this update

I forgot to mention in the last post that I have a terrible cold and I almost went to the doctor for it. (Jim wouldn't let me) I think it was also because I met a girl who knew a...Read this update
