Ok oK OK.... IM sorry
Yeah folks... I'm sorry... It's been a long time:

Quick Recap:

After leaving Charlie in Dunedin I headed to Queenstown where I met up with a few folk including the Jo "Uma Thurman" Baker (whom I ended up dancing on tables with in Winne Bagoes where I also met Joss who i had climbed Fuji with in Japan), the friendly Jess "having a larf" and Paul "adrenaline-issues". It was here that I embarked upon Quad Biking with Paul and enjoyed it muchly and found that the best cure for a hangover is Two hours of Quadbiking and A Fergburger.

And the Thrillogy: Three Bungys

1: Kawarau Bridge: World's first commercial Bungy Jump, 43 m high into ice cold water

2: The Nevis: New Zealand's highest bungy, 134 m over a valley

3: The Ledge: Urban Bungy set 400 m above Queenstown, 47 m drop

WHAT A RUSH!

After that I met up with the delightful pair that exist under the names of Jenny "The Buzzsaw" Beschizza and Laura "Desert Eagle" Divine. We drove from Queenstown in our gold car, which we named GLC (Goldie looking car) , to the hip and happening town of Invercargill. We checked the surrounding are such as the Bluff and were pleased.

Catching the rough riding Ferry over to Stewart island which put Motion sickness in a new world for me. 4m swells rocked the boat... so glad I wasn't hungover. Stewart Island was pretty and included a random and meandering adventure.

We scooted around the Catlins as well and got to see some awesome waves crashing against some awesome scenery. We also lots of seals and sea lions (hell, I nearly tripped over one) and even a yellow eyed penguin was scouted out by us.

Once Back in the Invercargill we headed to Dunedin. We took in the cadbury chocolate factory, the speights brewery and the otago penisula. We even met a Mancunian named John "Derringer" Dylan who joined our trip for a while. We decided to head back to Queenstown for a bonding experience in the form of doing another Thrillogy! John decided to join us. Before heading off though we took in the Ghost walk of Dunedin which frankly required a change of underwear afterwards.

Once in Queenstown we were all business!
Three jumps: One Day.... Bring IT ON
Decided to put a bit more style in my jumps this time: Got a better push off the Nevis (see bebo video), went backwards off the Kawarau bridge and forward flipped off the ledge. We drank in the evening and made merry.

Next day we headed out to the beautiful Mt. Cook were we spent days walking the tracks and checking the scenery. John left us after that to head to Christchurch and on to glory in Fiji.

After we finished in Mt. Cook we headed to Christchurch. We drove around the area going to New Brighton and then on to the Hanmer springs where we took a well earned break from our chaotic routine and doused ourselves in some hot spring baths. A fitting in to our road trip.

We have been residing in Christchurch ever since until the girls head off to Austrailia and I head off on my own adventures until.... SHE ARRIVES! That's right: The dreaded Jenny Divine shall be reaching the shores of New Zealand again so we must fortify ourselves againts her arrival which shall be both brutal and merciless.... tequila will probably be involved as well.

In Christchurch we had a mini Antartic adventure: We visited the centre then met a guy who had just come back from a tour of duty out there who was so enthused by his experience that it was infectious.

From then we have been eating sushi, reading books and chilling in the park. I have also been given the job of personal trainer to the girls so I have started them on a regime that makes the army cry and the marines call out Amnesty international. I have also been putting myself through hell on the exercise circuit and am pleased to report that I am dropping fat and building muscle quicker than I thought possible.

So thats us up to speed... Sorry for the gap guys but these things happen. Talk to ya soon.
