Spent just one night in Auckland (will be returning in the future), where the local backpacker bar had a fish racing competition which involved live fish, metal gulleys and straws - just don't ask! It would probably have the animal rights people up in arms over cruelty to goldfish. But is was a really good laugh!
The next morning I headed off to Queenstown which turns out to have a population of just over 10k rising to a grand 45k during peak season. It is also renowned for activities that push your boundaries and this is where I am going to do a bungee jump.
It is worth the trip just for the views and scenary you see coming into land at the airport - it is quite unbelievable and we had the benefit of seeing it bright sunshine with the snow glistening on the top of a mountain range called the Remarkables. If I thought it was cold in Oz, then it was quite clear on arrival that I would need a very warm jacket, hat, scarf and gloves. So I have to go shopping, again. :-))
