yeh ive been checking out the adventurer threads aswell to see if anyone was doing ur tour. im glad i wont be alone!! do u know of anyone else doing the tour??
its going 2 be so much fun!! how old r u (if u dont mind me asking..) and where abouts r u from? im 20 from australia. r u heading there a few days before ur tour or the day before?
I'm twenty-two and from Canada, so I have a pretty long flight overseas.
I'm only gonna be there one day before the tour and I'll probably be getting over some major jet lag. And I'm actually heading to Australia after the tour is over!
I don't know if I could willingly do bungee jumping! I'd need to be semi-conscious and pushed over
I'm thinking skydiving in Queenstown and maybe parasailing. I also want to go on that ice climb at Fox Glacier!
You'll have to let me know where you guys are staying in Auckland on your tour, so that I can meet up with you guys the day before the tour and you can introduce me to everyone!
skydiving and parasailing sound good!! although skydiving would b scary.. im hoping i wont chicken out of bungy jumping.. ive told everyone im going 2 do it so i have to..
im not sure if we r staying in auckland the night u get there, i think we pass through at lunch time and thatd be when we meet up.. im still hoping some more ppl will be doing the explorer so im not alone on the first few days..
where abouts in australia are u headed after nz? and just wonderin do u have a facebook?
welcome alex!! good 2 see theres more people joining us!! i get there on the 5th aswell.. around 6 pm, r u staying at the mercure that night?

whts the weather going 2 be like b4 u go 2 nz? its going 2 be cold in nz.. hope ur not coming from hot weather!
Hello Heather and Laura, I am getting into Auckland around 6:30am, and will be staying at the Mercure that night, I figured I come in a day early to recuperate from the jet lag I will have when I arrive. In May the weather in Florida is pretty warm around that time. I am imagining it will be Fall in NZ, so I am not sure if I would need to bring a heavy coat, or if a windbreaker would do.

Laura, The weather will be about the same in Saskatoon, Canada as it is in New Zealand at that time of year (it was -30 deg C yesterday, so anything will be a treat)!!!
Alex, I'm planning on bringing a water resistant outer shell that has a light fleece inside, because I don't want to get cold. Although, I don't know if that's overdoing it??
lucky that the weather will be the same.. i cant really tell cos melbourne weather is all over the place so i dont really know wht it will be.. cold but not that cold.. our coldest day is like 15.. where nz will be like 10 to in the minuses.. ive never experienced weather in the minuses.. ive brought a few warm clothes.. preparing myself.. not too sure wht to take tho.. gotta get a raincoat, or something.. dont know wht to take for nights out.. i guess after some alcohol the cold wouldnt be too much of a problem.. but it might be too cold at night for some of the clothes i already own to wear out at night.. hmm wht sorta clothes r u taking to wear out ?
