Just wondering if anyone is going on the Grand Explorer leaving on the 31st Jan..


Natalie

Hi my name is Belinda from Brisbane I am
doing the Grand Explorer from Auckland
on the 31st Jan 08.I am doing this trip
alone but can't wait to meet new people
and have the best time. Are you doing
this trip?

Hi Natalie i'm also going on the same trip - nice to know there are now at least 3 people going on this trip

My sister and myself are on this trip...
I am so looking forward to it...
Iain are you from perth???
We are from perth and leaving on the 29th and arrive in auckland on the 30th jan at 5:15am..

Hi Natalie I'm from Perth (Scarborough) and leaving on the same flight (depart 29th and arrive 30th @ 5.15am). I'm really looking forward to it as well. We'll have to try and get seats next to each other on the plane. Will you be staying in the hotel the tour departs from?

Perfect - we can all share a shuttle bus to the hotel. I've got nothing organised at this stage, I was just going to wander round the City for a bit.

we were thinking of doing the hop on hop off bus tour... but I think you have to book it before we go.... but we will do that later...

That sounds like a good idea as I don't think we spend a lot of time in Auckland - plus i wanted to see/go into the Sky Tower.

yeah... do u have msn

Hi Natalie i've added you as a "buddy" and sent you my email address.

so how did u find the heat yesterday...?

terrible - we had great weather up to late last week but then those two hot days in a row almost wiped me out - at least NZ will have much better weather.

so have you organised what options you are going to do at each place?

I've got some things i defintely want to do and a few maybes (depending on what other people do):
Definites:
Black Water Rafting; Huka Jet; The 'Zorb' Adventure Hill; Skyline Gondola And Luge Rides; Carino Day Sailing;
Shotover Jet; Canyon Swing; Aj Hackett Bungy - Nevis; Glacier Hike;

Maybes:
Dinner / Fishing Cruise
Something in Wellington - maybe the hop on/hop off tour

How about you and your sister?

The Awesome adventures in the bay of islands
Black water rafting, zorb, the glacier walk, funyaks and a hike, glacier flight, to name a few, but still not sure yet... I'm not into bungy jumping, and still thinking about the skydiving...
