So since the skydiving we've managed to fit in a few more activities...... black water rafting - which involves 35 mtr abseiling into a black hole!!! terifying for me (not so much for Baz) then a zip line into the darkness, then rafting through caves on rubber rings and climbing up waterfalls and through the smallest of water filled holes......its the first thing that baz has done that he will not do again!!(the size of him and the small holes were not compatable.)
Then some mountain biking in the forest, more hot thermal spas, more white water rafting - this time over a 7 mtr, yes 7 mtr waterfall!!!! well you had to basically close your eyes, hold your breath and hope for the best! The same day we sledged down the river - well that has to be the most stupid thing we have done. Fast flowing river with waterfalls and nothing to save you but basically a plastic tray and a crash helemt! well I had to tell the instructor to hold my hand most of the way, just to get through it - will not be doing that agian (baz loved it, but as you all know hes a bit mental anyway)
Then it was over to Raglan for surfing and what feels like the start of the beach holiday, as the weather is getting hotter, factor 30 all the way. Surfing in raglan was wicked (quiet chilled out little surf town). But then after all the mad things we have been doing, Brian goes and burns his feet - walking up a tarmacked path, bare foot and gets a massive raw bilster on each foot. So obviously he can't surf much so its been chillin on the beach the last few days. We are currently in Auckland and just so excited about the next 5 days. We will be off the radar - as we have hired a 25 foot yacht for a 5 day adventure package, where we have 2 days of lessons, then 3 days sailing on our own around the bay of Islands in the north of New Zealand! Happy Days
