Auckland, New Zealand

hello everyone, hope u r all well. we r in auckland at the mo, just got bac in2 hostels after havin 9 nights in our campervan, we had a wicked time, even tho our camper was fallin apart- it wouldnt start 4 at least an hour every morning and 2 of the mornings we had 2 call the AA out! it also wouldnt go the speed of the 100km speed limit so sam ended up gettin pulled over by police, which at 1st we thought we hilarious that he had pulled us over 4 goin 2 slow!!!!!! then he came bac with a $150 fine!!!! even english police wouldnt do tht!

anyway we drove round the north island and the other day we went caving, which is basically where u get dressed up in very sexy wet suits and hav a helmut with a light on and go under ground and go through the caves- its pitch black and at some points ur having 2 sit in a rubber ring cos the water is so deep you cant stand then lie as flat as u can and push yourself through a tunnel with ur hands on the top of the cave cos its so tight! it was really fun tho, i reckon it was probably 1 of the best things weve done! unfortunately we dont hav ne pics of us in the caves cos ur not allowed 2 take ur cameras but we got some shots of us b4 we went in!

we really wanted 2 do white water rafting, but the river that we had been planning on doin it on was closed when we got there cos it had been raining so much so it was 2 dangerous! so that was really annoyin cos now we cant do it at all! but i cnt realy complain cos we hav done lots of other wicked things since we hav been away!

we r off 2 fiji 2moro which we cant wait 2 get bac n the sun as it has rained quite a lot in the north island!

i hear u r all enjoyin nice weather at home!!!!

spk soon xx
