hello everybody, again its been a while since the last post, but weve been up to alot lately.

first off id like to say congratulations to the Green family. the beautiful Julia Ella May Green has entered this world. we send all our love in this amazing time you are experiencing, again congratulations and i cant wait to see her when we get back :) you are a wonderful family and i miss you.

we are currently in the extreme capital of the world, Queenstown, where weve made ourselves at home, staying for a week and a bit, tiring ourselves out on different activities.
me and mike bungy jumped..........if you ever have the chance to do this extremely extreme activity, dont let it pass. it was one of the most exhilerating experiences of my life. we did 3 jumps in one day, including a 143m dive into a gorge. (check the pics out) unfortunately we only have video of the actual jumps, no pics, so youll have to ask me for the video when i go home.

the pics will tell the story, so go through them, kick your shoes off and enjoy.

merry belated holidays to everyone, we were soaking up the sun on christmas...boy did that seem weird, having to put on sun tan lotion on christmas eve. and we had new years in the park followed by fireworks. and a night in the tent. ive seen so much in 2 months, and the west coast (our next destination) is supposed to be the most beautiful. go figure. with the things ive seen, im a happy camper...literally. lol. sorry that was bad. but all in all, we are fine, and have many story to tell. ill let andy take it from here, hes actually got a tale of the ages for you guys. enjoy, love from the south, dont miss us to much ;)

We took a shuttle from Queenstown into a town called Glenorchy. We would spend the night here before our days on the Routeburn Track. None of us felt like staying in the tent that night. All we really wanted was a warm bed before ...
