Jess Jets Off...Again!: Goodbye Australia, Welcome to New Zealand, brrrr!!!

Well as u can probably see by the first picture things have been a bit mental!! After my birthday I carried on the celebrations. Firstly me Nic and Aim went to the Great Barrier Reef to go Scuba Diving. We got there and snorkelled first and it was absolutely AMAZING!! we see Nemos, sharks, big fish, small fish, all sorts and it was crystal clear. I was gobsmacked and couldnt wait to get down and do my dive....until we got under the water and I started to panic and couldnt breathe!! I tried 3 times and jst couldn't do it which really annoyed myself :(

But the experience was brilliant!!!

A few days later me and Amy did a skydive, ahhhh!! it was unreal. I was crapping myself big time, especially getting in the little tin plane, it made my stomach turn over which I cant stand!! and I was first to jump out at 14,000 feet!!! The feeling was amazing though, like I was floating, but then half way down the 60 second free fall I couldnt breathe (again) but luckily the parachute went up and I was saved. We done the dive over the barrier reef so it was awesome seeing it from that height. Wicked adrenaline rush!!! Madness!!

Since then we stayed in sunny Cairns for about 2 weeks and had the best time, sunbathing partying and meeting loads of really cool people!!

Me and Nics flight back to Sydney was cancelled so unfortunately we had to stay in a 4star hotel for the night :) which was absolute luxury for us after being in hostels. We actually got a blanket, and TV...and clean towels, heaven!!

I visited my work mates for a night out bk in Sydney to say a final goodbye and we landed in Wellington yesterday. It is bloody freeeezing!! We are off to Auckland tomorrow to stay with amys family and look for work, wahoo!!!xxx
