Flying High 2

Queenstown is the self-styled action capital of NZ. Invitations to bungee jump, sky dive etc abound. I was going to ignore it all but - egged on by Alec - I decided on a bit of paragliding. They wouldn't let me take the camera (apparently people had complained about heavy objects falling from the sky) but this video came with the package...

Absolutely brilliant (the paragliding not the video). Although the girlies wimped out of the flying bit, we all went jet-boating...

Also brilliant.

All the NZ South Island photos (and the video) are here. And just in case you missed any, links to all the photos are here.

Hmmm, I don't seem to have done much blogging recently. Can't think of any good excuses - I guess I'm just a lazy git.

New Zealand's been a bit of a slow burn but I've fallen in love with it. One of the highlights was a helicopter trip over the Southern Alps. Here's a few photos from it...

There's lots (of course) more here.
