Today started off with a lie in and beautiful full cooked breakfast but was short lived as we miss timed our alarms so had a rush to cook, eat, wash up, pack and check out. It was so rushed we were walking around to check out still eating our breakfast on the move.
Once we got on the bus it was a straight two hour trip, no stops, to Roturua.
We got off and about 10 of us decided to do the 'cheap option' activity which was $40 for what they called a Luge. It's basically sitting in a tripod like go-kart and speeding down a hill on a track! Once we got to the bottom we got 4 more goes! It was sooo fun! At first we did the beginners track just to get into it, and then we got down and went straight back up on the chair lift to do the advance! It was brilliant! Me being a good Markham boy launched myself down the mountain! We were weaving between all the slow people, turning really sharp around the corners and of course I fell off! It was really fun though and was nice to get to know more people! We spent about 2 hours on the slopes before having fish and chips and getting picked up. I could have spent all day doing it though! Brilliant.
After we got back I had a bit of a kip as it was 5ish and I was on the down from my adrenaline rush. I then went for a wonder, had a swim in our geothermal heated pool and had a massive cottage pie cooked for me for food!
