Bit Of New Zealand


So with all our gear needing a few days off to be shipped to the US for the next leg of the tour i was faced with a choice to either fly Auckland to Sydney to Singapore to London to Dublin to be at home for 36 hours to then fly Dublin to Los Angeles to Las Vegas or to have 5 days off in New Zealand so off to the South Island for a little R'n'R. Myself and James (Killers FOH Guy) hired a camper van to drive around the south island. Starting in Christchurch and heading first of all towards Franz Josef for a helicoptor ride up over the glacier



Next up we were off to Queenstown, the extreme sports home of the world.


So with the opportunity staring me in the face, i took the chance to do a bungy jump called The Ledge, its a 50m jump from a platform suspended from the side of a mountain 400m over the ground.



So with Chaos and Adrenalin coursing my veins i decided to sign up for a parachute jump too. This would be my first and to be honest i actually wasn't all that nervous. Didnt matter that it was a 12,000 ft jump, guess i figured doing a tandem jump i was gonna be strapped to someone who knew what they were doing so there was nothing to be worried about really.










With our couple of days off over it was the long drive back to Christchurch via some fantastic scenery




So after arriving back in Christchurch it was time for the short flight to Auckland before the 14 hour flight to Los Angeles and the short flight to Las Vegas for the next leg of the tour to start
