Count me out of the bungee jumping and sky diving! I fancy the white water rafting tho!
The hostel I am staying in Auckland is only 200m down the road from the mercure. Haven’t got round to looking into where everything is in Christchurch yet, will get back to you on that one!

I’m game for all 3! At least that’s what I say now. I’m pretty sure I won’t sound as confident though when I’m about to bungee or sky dive! But hey, New Zealand’s the place to do it all right? so I’m determined not to leave New Zealand without having given it all a try!
Anyone know if we’ll have wi-fi access for the most part of our trip? I’m wondering if I should get a NZ pre paid sim card with a data plan so that I retrieve my emails and stuff. Data roaming charges in NZ on a Singapore plan are way expensive.

most hotels have wi-fi access… or they did on my last contiki. now as to sky diving and bungee jumping, to me there is something not quite right about jumping out of a plane or off of a bridge. though i’m really keen for the white water rafting and will be doing the black water rafting too

i’ll probably be using a travel card, i used one on my last one, made everything a lot easier. haven’t organised it yet, just waiting for my girlfriends paperwork to come in and we’ll do it all at once

Partying up a storm sounds like defaintly the right idea. And Im using a commonwealth bank travel card thats what I put all my spending money on during the last six months. Hey cheryl Im the same as you not sure once I get up on the bridge to do the bungee jump will i be able to do it but I will just have to wait and see. lol
