Wow.
This past week in New Zealand has been an absolute whirlwind of infinite excitement!
Instead of boring you with all the stories and whatnot, I am going to write a brief list of highlights...
- Driving stickshift on the lefthand side of the road.. Crazy!
- Blackwater Rafting in a subterranean river marvelling at Glow-worms lighting up the ceiling.
- Plenty of Wine Tastings
- Bungy Jumping the Second Highest Jump in the WORLD.. over 440 Feet into a canyon.. no hands.. head first!
- Camping DIRECTLY under a VERY active Railroad Viaduct
- Visiting the Longest-Named Place in the world
- Having limited radio and only 4 awful CDs: Best of Tears for Fears, Best Irish Drinking Songs (volume 3), Best of Moby and Gregorian Chants to the music of the Beatles
- Camping on a completely gorgeous and deserted beach
- Driving through a Rainforest to get to a Glacier
- Getting our car to pony-up to 170 km/hr
- Not getting a speeding ticket (although Dan can't say the same)
- Taking our poor car off road to camp in the river bed of a gorgeous valley with spectacular views
-... and plenty of debauchery inbetween!

Geeez, it sounds like New Zealand's offered some experience not to forget. I failed to mention the Ford, Fiesta does not come standard with a turbo charger. Since you were on a budget I can image you did not mind holding the accelator to the floor. I am inrested to hear more about the Irish Drinking Songs (volume 3) CD, the debauchery inbetween and trying to say Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateapokaiwhenuakitanatahu three times.
