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.

A Quick, blurred view of Christian Cullen's hometown!

Snowboarding on Mt. Ruapahu

The mountain in the background is "Mount Doom" from Lord of the Rings. It's still an active volcano. When we were walking on the Tongariro crossing, we could see steam coming out of the side of it.
