Sam Sky Diving!

Finally! Well this is Sam sky diving! I was soo scared! You can probably tell! I really didnt wana go I was saying to the bloke that I dont wana go and I was holding on to the side of the plane! He had to pull my hands off! lol! You cant really see the amazing view from these pictures as you obvioulsy cant dive right over the mountains as you would prob land on them! Hope you like them!

Alex Sky Diving!

This is it!! Alex is gone! This is alex jumping out of the plane! He doesnt look scared at all! Soo brave! You can see that he has got his arms crossed, but once you are out of the plane the instructor taps you on the head and you open your arms out wide as though you are flying! I screamed when alex went and by the time i got to the edge i couldnt see him he was gone! Yuo got to take the camera with you on the jump but were only aloud to get it out once the shoot opened. As you can see alex has taken a picture of his feet so you can see just how high up we was! Alex: Its amazing i wana do another one!! I was gutted when the shoot opened! I wanted to freefall for longer! 15000 feet next time!

Day 12 Kiwi Experience

Sky Diving!!! Woo Hoo!! OMG this was absolutly amazing! I would reccomend it to anyone!! Here you can see us just before we was going to take off in the position that we would have to get in before falling out the plane! It dosent look very comfy for Alex does it? Well it wasnt! There are also some pictures of the amazing views that we saw up there!

Most of our dives were successfull, but our mate Vikki also did a skydive but her parachute didnt open properly! They had to cut the chute off freefall again and then open the emergency one! By the time they got that open they were preparing for landing!! Apparently its very common for that to happen and the instructors only take 20minutes packing the first chute but they take an hour and a half packing the emergency one. So if it happens to you dont panic! It just makes it an interesting skydive!

Fanci Dress!

The picture of the girl in the afro is Rakhee she was dressed as a pirate! She is traveling with Khilna who is in the picture of Sam, smiley Rakhee and Kilna, Khilna was dressed as Cat Woman! They have said that they will come out with me on my 21st! They live in London. We are also meeting them in Sydney.

Then you have got the massive group photo of everyone! See if you can spot me and Alex! Its not hard.

Fanci Dress!

The guy with the white face is Ed and he was dressed as Edward Scissor Hands! He won the fanci dress and got a free Canyon Swing!! We are meeting Ed for a day in Sydney. He is a great guy and we will definatly stay in touch with him.

The nunn is our bus driver Smiley! ( named smiley as he was the colgate kid! The guy next to him is martin, well you can see what he is dressed as! Martin is a very interesting bloke as there is nevera point in the day where Martin isnt pissed out of his head! He is harmles though, a great guy!

The 2 rugby players are Jo and Ryan. The last picture from left to right is Elen (but we all just call her Sweedish!) she was meant to be Eve from adam and eve, then its sam! Then we have got laura (ryans girlfriend) then Sarah as a Sailor and then Jo at the front!

The last picture is of Smithy! He was some sort of old style gangster? I think!

Nite 11 Kiwi Experience (Fanci Dress!)

We were staying at Lake Mahinapua tonight, and its is a little hostel in the middle on nowhere! So they organise having fanci dress parties here! Our theme was that you had to be something beging with your initials! I went as a school and alex went as a hippy! It was an extremly funny nite everyone looked wicked as you can see!

About 20 of us ended up walking down to the lake at 3 in the morning, it was pitch black! Extremly scary!

The guy with the afro is simon, he went dressed in the seventies, the granny is gary and the other school girl is carie (you can be your second names initial aswell). The pic of me and the other two girls is Laura to the left dressed as a greek godess and Pella to the right as pochohontas (cant spell!)

Alex with the lads from left to right is alex, john as a christmass tree, marcus as Zoro and louie as a lifeguard.

Day 11 Kiwi Experience

We took a walk along the coast at Tauranga Bay to check out the Punakaiki, which are pancake rocks and blow holes. Unfortunatly we did not manage to get a good picture of a blow hole as the tide was not in, but its a hole in the rock and when the tide comes in water sprays out through it.

From the pictures you can see many pancake rocks. See if you can work out the faces in the rocks, we have put the picture on there for you to compare the two ( you sould be able to work out which two pics you have to compare!) Alex is with Ed on the bridge. We will be meeting him in OZ but only for one nite as we arrive on the 5th and he leaves on the 6th.

The picture of Alex in the woods is the walk that everyone took to the lake at our hostel at about 3 in the morning! very scary!!!

Day 11 Kiwi Experience

Today we went to a town called Cape Foulwind. We went to Tauranga Bay where we got the chance to walk to one of New Zealands largest seal colonies! It is quite hard to tell the difference between the rock and the seal!

The picture of the sign post tell you how far away you are from each country at that point in New Zealand! This is also New Zealands closest point to Australia, and if you looked really hard into the distance, you've got absolutely no chance of seeing it!

Day 10 Kiwi Experience

Can somebody help me please! Anyone! Im stuck down the loo! Hello! Anybody there? Please can sombody help me! HELP!!

We got to go quad biking today! We went across the beach and in to the forest! We got extremely muddy! As you can see I was the only girl and had to go at the front so I held all of the boys up! They did get to go off on their own for a bit though! Alex loved it and was really good at it where as I was not so good! First I went on 2 wheels and nearly fell off! Alex thought it was cool! Then I went in to a bush and down in to a ditch and Alex and this other bloke had to lift me out! lol! We had a wicked time though, glad we did it!

Nite 7 Kiwi Experience

Here are some pictures from our night out in Wellington. ( my mate also has these photos so we will hae to wait until i revieve them until they get out on sorri!) Had a great night tonight, we just did a pub crawl around Wellington! Alex was actually dancing! Alot!

Day 7 Kiwi Experience

White Water Rafting todoy!!! ( we currently only have this one photo as the others got sent home so you will have to speak to sarah nicley and she will send them to you) My god it was so scary! They tell you before it that it is an extremely dangerous sport and people have died from it! We still went on and did it anyway! Alex fell out right at the start as he wernt holding on properly! We all got to get out of the raft and float down a grade 1 rapid on our backs! Sam didnt like it as she caught up with the raft and went right underneath it! Very scary! Alex loved it and would do it again where as i am glad i have done it but it is too scary for me!

Day 6 Kiwi Experience

These are some pictures of the walk we done around Tongariro National Park. We didnt really get to see much just the waterfall that me and alex are standing infront of.

The wider waterfall out of the 2 other pics was used in Lord of The Rings, it was shown when Golumn got the fish out of the waterfall. Alex and some of the boys jumped off of this waterfall! Mad! It was a frezzing cold day and it was a 10metre jump! Alex said it took his breath away! (if you look hard enough you can just about make out alexs head in the water! we do have a pic of alex jumping but my mate has not sent it to me yet)

Nite 4 Kiwi Experience (Taupo)

This first picture is of the geothermal pool! It was in the middle of a field as you can see! It was really warm but it absolutely stank! Its apparently good for your skin!

The next few pictures are of our night out in Taupo! As you can see a lot of us are wearing the same Tee-shirt, we got these as it enabled you to get cheap drinks all night! We were named buy Smiley as Team Urban as we played a trick on him all night which ended in him getting refused alcohol at the bar! We all took it in turns to buy rounds of shots but each time we was only buying one shot and the rest of them would be water! So Team Urban was all doing shots of water and Smiley was doing proper shots! He found out the next day and he is wanting revenge on Team Urban but he has not succeeded yet!

Day 4 Kiwi Experience

Here are some pics of the huker rapids and a pic of a mountain which looked pretty spectacular from where we was standing.

The pic of the pointy mountain on its own is the mountain that was used in the film 'The lord of the rings' (Mount doom).
