Today was the day we would throw ourselves off the aeroplane, embark the extreme swing, ride in a helicopter and get wet on a jet boat with the 360 spin! These activities was put in a bundle hwich was named the 4Play! i was winding up everyone about the saying of 4play and the fact it reminded me of something else...they all burst out laughing! We was taken to the swing/bungee jumping building and i opted for the swing seeing that i was too chicken to do the bungee jumping, i also blame my dear father on the grounds the fact he said to me there was rare cases of people doing the bungee jumping having their eyes pop out simply because there was too much pressure. I thought he was joking but i sensibly checked online and unfortunately true with some cases of that happening with other events such as a stroke and more. The lads went on the bungee jumping and us girls went for the extreme swing. Literally my heart leapt at the moment when i was dropped down, i felt like my heart was no longer inside of me but then the adrenaline came through, i incredibly enjoyed the swing! i was laughing hysterically afterwards. Afterwards we was transported to helicopter site where we would fly to jetboat river, me, Asher and Charlene went first as there was not enough seats for five of us therefore the driver had to do two trips. While we were up there in the sky, we saw a lot of sights such as a big puddle filled with aqua coloured simply just bubbling, it looked steaming hot, We all felt like we were VIP when we landed, everyone was looking at us as if we were from a royal family! Waiting for Ashley and Dominic to arrive, we prepped ourselves in a rainproof overalls and all of us went on the jetboat. The journey on the river was excellent! we ultimately enjoyed every second of it with the boat just missing the edge of the cliff, water pouring all over us, the trees just barely touched the boat! what a near miss experience....Luckily the driver was very experienced. We passed these most gorgeous waterfall named Hukaka Falls, it was flowing beautifully with turquoise water. Finally we were driven back to main site of skydiving where we would do our final activity. I remeber thinking oh my god how much more of that adrenaline rush i could take! We got briefed on the health and safety regulations then we got fitted with the skydiving equipment helped by our sky-diving partner. In my case, it was a lovely woman named kristie who already did 1000 dives which reassured me until i found out that Ashley sky-diving partner already did 40,000 dives....I started to worry! It was too late to be nervous or anything like that so we set off in the aeroplane leaving Charlene and Dominic on the ground. At 13,0000 feet hign, Ashley was the first to throw himself off and just before he did, he looked at me nervously, i could feel my heart beating more and more. Suddenly it was my turn, i put my hand on the rails finding myself unable to let it go so Kirstie forcibly took my hand and pushed me off. That exact second, i went from nervous to epic feeling! It was so cold but i didnt take any notice of that because i was too busy looking down, i was flying so freely and laughing so much i couldnt breathe! It was Asher turn after me but ironically enough when we landed, they were already on the ground before me....it seems like mine was more longer to get down as we were lighter. We discussed how we felt the exact moment of falling out and we were talking at same time unable to get our words in! It was Charlene and Dominic turn so they flew off with us waving them off. They said exact same thing once they arrived, we all really loved that moment! After puchasing the dvd and photos, we got back to Taupo and decided to drive on to Rotoura, it smelled like as if someone had farted all time! Stopping by a campsite, we decided to take advantage of thermal pool provided, we sat out there in our swimwear embracing the view of stars glittering above us. That night, we threw Asher an early surprise party by filling up the motorhome with party balloons and the donkey game, i won the nearest tail pin *whoops* We ate our little cupcakes and drank beer!
