I couldn't really sleep well last night - well it me being nervous of doing 4PLAY today! We had our breakfast and got ready etc. We then moved on to the 4PLAY office to fill out the forms etc. The first activities is..... Bungee jumping (44 metres down). We waited for them to pick us up. As we got closer to the bungee jumping site, the faster our heart beats! Sara and Charlene wanted to do Swing instead of bungee jumping. I went down to the other side of the lake to have a good shot of them jumping - i am taking pictures of them. Seeing Asher jumping out of the platform, I thought to myself - I am going to do the exactly same! I got more nervous (i don't really like height). It then my turn to jump, I handed over my camera to Asher and ran up to the platform. They did every procedures, strapping my legs etc. As I stood at the edge, I prayed to myself that I would survive! Jumping out of the platform suddenly become my favourite moment. I can't even describe how it felt - it was fantastic and I loved it! The second activities is.... Helicopter! All of us have never been on helicopter before so it was exciting moment. As the helicopter have 4 seater. We all split in two group, I stayed behind with Dominic waiting for the helicopter to return for us. They took us to the third activities.... Jet Boating! As we got on the helicopter - it was fantastic! We saw plenty of things and beautiful scenery, for instance the Huka Fall, Geyster and thermals rock pools with steams. We finally landed - people was looking at us, the man who worked at the jet boating shook our hand and followed him - we felt like James Bond! As we departed, the jet boating was awesome experience especially when they do 360 degree turn. We approached the Huka Fall, it was breathtaking view, we moved on to the sharp bends etc. We return port for our fourth activities.... Skydiving! We got our uniform on, meeting the stranger that my life depend on it!! - (jumper). As the plane only have four teams on the plane - we all split in two group. Me, Sara and Asher went first. We all had each teams - passenger, jumper and freefall cameraman. As we got higher, it then time for us to throw ourselves out of the plane! The jumper pushed me out - and I was falling out of the sky. It was unbelievable experience. I loved it! I can even see the sunset, the west coast and Lake Taupo. Jumper pulled the parachute chute and I landed safely. I thought to myself - I've just overcame my fear of height and wanted to do it again in the future! :) we waited and watched Charlene and Dominic landing, of course everyone loved it :). We all purchased our photos and DVD etc. We then returned to our camper-van. We went ahead for Rotura which was only an hour away. We arrived there and immediately we smelled something stinks - of course the Sulphur! We went for the campsite near to the town. We was glad to discover that it even have thermal pool - of course we all went for it. Dominic didn't fancy it so he stayed behind. Four of us never felt so relaxed in very hot thermal pool. After that we tried to get rid of Asher - thankfully he went to the Internet cafe. We all did something and waited for Asher to come back. We surprised him with plenty of colourful balloon, banners and cakes with candle. We had his 21st early party here :) it was funny evening and we ended the day with Stienlager beers. Sorry for the essay here!
