This is where the 'extreme' sports started. I have decided to start slowly with it and work my way to the scary stuff! Started with Zorbing - basically your put in this huge ball with water (they shove 2 or 3 of you in there) and then throw you down a hill... ha ha, good fun until your kicked in the head by one of the others in the ball with you!! The kiwi's do think of some strange stuff to do!!!

Next came the Luge rides and the sky swing!!!!! Well the sky swing basically throws you up in the air and then you go swinging of the top of this cliff.. thankfully I managed to keep my eyes open and the views are totally amazing!! Next was the Luging, its kinda like go karting!! Brilliant fun, we managed to get onto the advanced track somehow and was jumping our cars over humps and all sorts! Loved it!

After all that excitment we made it into Rotorua, well the place has a reputation for being smelly.. well it stinks bad! Its so weird, there is just steam coming from the streets and in peoples back gardens, lakes.. everywhere which is what gives off this horrible smell. This place has a nickname of Sulphur City! Its something to do with Geothermal activity! Its a totally different experience out here, something I have never seen or would even dream of seeing! Its very strange!!

NIse - You would have loved the evening here, we went to a Mauri Cultural Concert and Dinner! They done the All Blacks dance and was teaching us it!! Ha Ha!! They said that thats why they generally always win the rugby cause they scare everyone with the dance and the faces they make!! They told us that they might as well keep Jonny Wilko on the bench cause no way is anyone going to beat the all blacks in france this year! It was a brilliant night!!!

OK so over next few days off to Waitomo and Taupo! Where I think I am going to do the skydive.. haven't totally made up my mind yet! Also going to be doing the Tongariro Crossing where I am going to climb Mt Doom where LOTR) is filmed!

Speak soon, loadsa love, Rach
