Snowboarding Bad Gastein, Austria

The band that was playing in the pub (can't remember the name of it). They were savage.

Just before the carnage of the tabogganing, we were "softened up" with some punch. From the left: Will, Colm, Dom, Damien & me.

Throwing shapes. That hat, cool and all as it is, was a drunk/hung-over 50 yoyo investment. Questionable economics, given I'm only going to wear it for one week every year!

Damien and Heff.

Damien and Dom.

Damien (eyes closed), Dom (eyes closed) & Will (eyes closed and stupid grin).





Damien, Dom, Will, myself (the hand-thingy seemed like a snowboarder-type thing to do) & Colm (enjoying my embrace a little too much I notice)

A few beers in Queenstown

On the road from Queenstown to Christchurch

This is the view from the pews up to the altar of an Anglican church on the edge of a lake (name unknown) in a town (see name of lake) in Maquarie Country. Pretty tiny church.

Nevis Bungy Jump, Queenstown

Check out http://effinjames.bebo.com/ for the video. Needless to say I was cacking myself. Have to admit that I was genuinely afraid that I might lose control of some bodily function on the way down. If you see the video, the point at which I give the thumbs-up, I was supposed to smile at the camera - or at least look that anyway. I wasn't taking my eye off the ridiculously tiny ledge I was about to stand on - the only thing that was going to be keeping me above the creeek 134m below. Doing it was the biggest adrenaline rush - much more so than the sky-dive.
