AAAGGGGGGggggggghhhhhhhhhh
I couldn’t finish New Zealand with out a story about the national “pastime” Bungy Jumping (of course I mean this with tongue firmly planted in cheek as everyone know its beating Australia in the Rugby Union)
First viewed when David Attenborough brought footage back from the Pentecost Island of the Land Divers back in the 1950’s. It was decided that this looked like fun (obviously) but having an elastic band or “Bungy” attached would make it extreme. The man responsible for people jumping of perfectly good bridges is Kiwi AJ Hackett who set up the first commercial "Bungy" in Christchurch in 1986. From there he has created an international empire. Hackett has "Bungied" from so many structures including a famous leap from the Eiffel Tower and hold the record for longest "Bungy" with 700m drop.
Head to the Kawarau Bridge in Christchurch and give it a try for yourself.

The sheer anticipation of picking up the car in Christchurch - heading down to our chilly Southern destination.The first snowflakes as we hit Tekapo, icy roads on the Lindis Pass. So far from home in Noosa. The kids are squealing with excitement, Queenstown, ski time, winter fun... HERE WE COME!
