Hi, it's Andrew Baans here, I will be doing the same tour except I finish up in Queenstown.(Grand descovery). If you want to know more about me I am on facebook.
I'm going on this trip alone aswell. I'm 25, 26 when the trip starts from Adelaide.
Can't wait. What optional activities are people thinking about doing? I'm definatly looking forward to the tandem sky dive, kawarau bridge bungy, white water rafting and zorbing. I haven't really had too much of a chance to look at everything yet.
I'm heading out Christmas day, arriving in Auckland just after 6pm NZ time. Staying at the Mercure before the tour starts on the 26th.
If anyone wants to grab a drink on Christmas night just let me know.

Ron of Mel & Veronica here! Looking forward to this trip! Matt & Glenn, are you flying out from Melbourne? We arrive in Auckland about 11.30pm, we should suttle it from the airport together We are yet to book out accommodation for that night, probably should get around to that, nothing like last minute, maybe we'll just sleep on an airport bench! See u all soon xo
We're travelling from Sydney but sharing a shuttle sounds like a good idea!
IT seems the mecure is the place to be on xmas night if you can find availability there. I'm sure something will work out... Either way I'm keen to take instant advantage of duty free alcohol! 'Tis the season after all!
