Franz Josef.

I just climbed a frikkin' glacier. Awesome!

Oh and Kayaking photos up on Facebook. This place has been immense - if pricey! I worry it's only getting worse with Queenstown round the corner!

If I'm this drunk....

Then oh boy. Poor bus driver. Tomorrow's gonna be nasty.

I should try and update this more really. Tomorrow I head to the Franz Josef glacier. I'm gonna climb up it and stuff. Today I strolled around the tiny touwn of Greymouth, went on a brewery tour and drank booze - a lot of it, with the guy who's supposed to be driving us all to Queenstown. Oh and German girls love the game of Bekark. Whodda thunked it?

Ciao for now.

short update

aka - another bloody amazing view - prepare to be bored one and all upon my return.

In other news - I threw myself out of a plane 2 days ago and today I hit the South Island. C'est l'awesome.

Rotorua.

In the local brogue, the past two days in Rotorua have been sweet as. Having met my bus (I was the only unmarried boy on it - oh the shame!) Proceeded down to Waitomo where we did some black water rafting (imagine mid 80's Atari game Toobin - in the dark). They also told us about the Maori myth of the Tunnifar which the way our Dutch guides were saying it kept sounding like 'Fanny fart'.

Then yesterday I went zorbing. Awesome. I've got a vid of me basically going 'off piste' despite my recent extreme weightloss which I will post to Farcebook before Chrimbo I promise.

Oh and last night I went to a maori dinner. I was made an honorary chief purely on account of the fact that I played rugby. I didn't mention I'm shite.

Today I'm off to Taupo and weather permitting in the next two days will throw myself out of a perfectly good airplane from 12,000 ft.

Oh and I've discovered the words 'Richie McCaw crying' effectively end any argument. Admittedly they end by you getting punched but its funny nonetheless.

Auckland is such a pleasant place

1. They drive on the right or left hand side of the road.
2. They say please and thank you
3. They have a real national game (even if bottling it is a national art form).
4. It's clean.

That pretty much sums up the differences with LA there.

There are still plenty of fitties walking around!

All goes a bit Avid Merrion.

Yes, Hollywood is a confusing place and at some kind of event at some theatre last night, I spotted the following (ranked in order of awesomeness)

The Heroes girls (Ali Larter and the one who it was unacceptable to fancy when she was 6 in remember the titans)

R&B singer Brandy

Mario Lopez - aka AC Slater from saved by the bell

Seal and his stunning wife Heidi Klum

Eva Longoverexposedoria

and some middle aged bints from Britain called the spice girls

and the bloke who played Dawson in Dawson's Creek - it turns out I still want to punch him in the head.

It all went a little Gomez.

Went to Tijuana yesterday full of good intentions. Ended up in bed by 9pm.

If anyone could fill in the blanks for me I'd be grateful.

In other news - I'm off to LA in like half an hour. It's gonna be tough cos San Diego has been absolutely amazing.
