money on internet just ran uot so i'll continue...
After my skydive I was on another high but after a long day I was tires so retired to bed early ready for more adventures the next day. We left the hostel at around 8am and visited puzzle world as a group, one of few attractions in Wanaka which was strangely a place where there were several optical illusions a room where perspective played with your mind and a room on a 45 degree slant so water appeared to flow uphill and balls rolled up a pool table. Very odd, very unique and the huge outdoor wooden maze took over 45 mins to complete but was very fun.
We then carried on to Queenstown, one of the larger town in New Zealand and the advetnure capital. In and around the city you can do 3 different bungy jumps, sky dive, 2 different canyon swing, luiging, water sledging, jet boating and so on and so on. I unfortunately did not participate in any of these as it is also known to be the most expensive place to do these activites so hope to do a bungee later on. I was very tempted when we were taken to the bungee museum and watched the invention of the adrenline activity on the very bridge we were standing on. Several members of the bus did though and have crazy photos to show of many different activites.
I instead went for many walks and runs and stupidly bleached my hair!!! which I then fixed within 24 hours as it was rather orange and made me cringe every time I looked in the mirror so I am now back to brunette after the hairdressser in queenstown laughed at me and spent lots of time rubbing in die to all the parts I had originally missed. Queenstown was great and I would have eagerly stayed another few days but as currently I have no way to get out of this country I must get to Wellington ASAP so I can finally get a new passport back and an opfficial identity before my leaving date of the 24th.
Yesterday as we said goodbye to alot of our bus members who stayed in Christchurch I travelled back upto chirstchurch for only a night as a stop over to take me up here to Kaikoura today. On the way we picked up another fellow traveller from oz exp who is just starting what I have done over the last week and is now with us in the small original whaling town of Kaikoura. The weather has turned bad and apart from veiwings of seal coloneys and penguins there is not much to do so it may be another early night or possibly a late one in the pub. Tomorrow I venture to the north island which promises to be warmer and rier but I'm not sure I trust that, but we can live in hope.
