Today after we had eaten the lovely fried breakfast courtesy of Olof we headed to Zorb, we couldnt leave NZ before we had done it! We decided to buy 3 go's each as we knew one would never be enough for us! Probably the best thing we have done on the trip, activities wise! We did one go together straight down then I did two more on the zig zag route which I thought was the most fun bouncing and sliding around! Olof did one zig zag then one straight down as he wa...

Today we had our tickets booked to go up the mountain in the gondola and the luge rides down! It was quite strange being in a gondola without any snow or ski's! From the top there was great views of the mountains and lake but we were really there for the luge ride! Something a little less scary they are basically go karts without the engine or sheets of plastic with handle bars that you pull back to brake and steer like a bike! We had really good fun, they have 3...

Today we had a lazy morning before taking what started out to be a short walk and ended up being 5 hours! We walked the track along the river to Huka Falls which is very impressive and you can see why it is one of the worlds most photographed waterfalls! In general a nice walk with great scenery while we talked putting the world to rights! We walked up the same path from the river to the platform at the bungee jump and it showed what a high we were on because w...

Today we continued our theme of heights (what am I thinking when I book these activities!) and headed to "Rock N Ropes" I think the pictures explain better than I can about what you actually do! I will say it was scarier than the bungee for me because of the height and for Olof because I was belaying him! I managed to do all the tasks, walking along the rickety bridge, the wire and log, the guy that takes it was really good at giving you tips and enco...

After a quick overnight stop in Auckland we headed down to Taupo which was a lovely 6 hours on the coach but it went really quickly! Once we'd arrived at the hostel we started looking at the activities to do in the area as Olof had already decided to do his bungee jump here we booked him in for the afternoon and headed over there as the weather was gorgeous warm and sunny! I was probably more nervous than Olof before his jump and couldnt even walk out onto the ...
