  Hey Joceline, Sorry i didnt realise that was you. The random explorer names are confusing. Are you excited about the trip? Just going to New Zealand or going to Australia too?

  Hey Brooke,
  Don’t even worry about it! I’m so excited! Less than two months away already. I’m just going to new Zealand. I’ve been to australia before though. How long are you staying in new Zealand for?

  I can’t wait either it’s so soon. Are you 2 staying at the mercure hotel? O nice. I’m also flying in he night before and I’m staying 2 weeks afterward. I really enjoyed Aus. It was nice because i met a bunch of people on my last contiki that lived there so i had people to show me around. Ya I think I’m going to do bungy jumping but not skydiving. I think I’m going to do that really long hike instead. How about you?

  Hahaha not really, i’m a sook but when in..New Zealand :D lol.
  Yeah, maybe because Aus is so close to New Zealand is the reason we got ours early? Not sure.
  My friend went over to New Zealand with his family last November, he like bungee and the zorb and everything.. looks amazzzzing!! I’m 20, how are you may i ask? :)

  Haha exactly. Might as well do it while you are there. I love freaking my mom out by telling her what I’m going to do.
  I didn’t go to a travel agent either so that might be another reason.
  That sounds awesome. I have been googling pictures of places we are going and I’m so excited.

  I’m 20 as well!

  I live in Katherine in the Northern Territory. Yes I’m traveling by myself but I’m pretty excited, haven’t done a contiki tour before so I’m not sure what to expect.
  My housemate did a new zealand tour similar to this one and loved it so I’m sure it’s going to be awesome!

  I’m 20. Definately doing a bungee jump, So many choices. I’m can’t make up my mind which optional activities I want to do. Theres the thrill seeking ones but i’m also pretty keen for ones like the glacier hike. I might just wing it and work it out while i’m there.
  25 days to go…….
