Taupo

Well, just thought I'd pop online on Christmas day to say 'Merry Christmas'! I've had a good couple of nights out with the people I've met, a group of us from the bus and a few Irish lads who Emma and Lynsey met in South America...so they've been to pretty much the same places as me. Went out on Saturday, had a good night and then last night we had the office Christmas party. Obviously because none of us have jobs, a Christmas party was needed. Emma and Lynsey bought some props, so we went out with crazy minging teeth and glasses with noses, it was pretty funny. Lynsey's nose feel off her glasses during the night, so she attached it to her necklace, when she woke up this morning it was still there!
I woke up feeling rather rough, Cios the Brazilian boy in my room gave me a present...a princess crown! I then opened my present from Paul and Roseann, a cute little pot with lipgloss and sweets in it. I then went upstairs to the girls room and we had presents. Got a game of 'snap' a little fairy figure, magnet and some chocolate...so didn't do too badly. Emma and Lynsey had loads of presents as they had a parcel from home, it was cool watching them open them all. After I got showered and then sat outside, the sun was out and it was pretty warm. Then it was dinner, the hostel owner and his family made the dinner. Turkey, ham and salad...much rather have been eating my Mummy's lovely dinner, but I made do, and the pavelova kind of made up for it!! Just been chilling since, quite tired, played pool and there was a raffle, didn't win anything though surprise surprise. I never win!!! Think we're going to have a few drinks tonight, hostel is the only bar in town that's open though, so no going out, thank god cause I'm shattered! Have a good one folks!! Mwah xx

Boxing day I got up, went for a walk and sat by lake Taupo while I waited for everyone else to get up and sorted. We then went up to the bungy. Cathel went first, Stephen, Myself, Lynsey and then Damien. Oh my it was so so scary, I stood at the top making a complete fool out of myself. (PICTURE, ME HANGING AT BOTTOM OF MY JUMP)Everyone else just went up and threw themselves off, but I stood right on the edge deliberating! Anyway, soon decided that I'd paid the money so I really ought to jump!! So, off I went, in style over crystal blue waters...it was pretty awesome. Just kind of hung around for the rest of the day and then went to the fair in the evening which was quite fun!
