Hannah's Great Adventure
Ok, so I decided against the 'Kiwi Experience' and scoured the notice boards in Auckland in search of a traveling buddy - I was looking for someone who seamed relatively 'normal' but still up for a laugh - I found neither. I'm kidding...
For the last week or so I've been traveling with another crazy German (surely I should have learnt my lesson) and a much more grounded Canadian Girl - Meet David and Christine. We've been on an 'express' tour of the North Island.
From Auckland we headed north, in the direction of the most northern point. Having been very excited about driving once again, after the mission to Cape Reinga I had lost all enthusiasm. We camped for the first few nights before deciding saving a few dollars wasn't really worth sacrificing a few toes! It was bloody freezing, well for 'Miss Unprepared' here.
Finding ourselves back in Auckland once again we swiftly moved on to Lake Taupo - The SkyDiving Capital. Where David and myself jumped - well, were pushed - to our death from a moving plane, all in the name of 'fun'! It was frigging fantastic. The most amazingly exhilarating thing I have ever done. And yep, I was a sucker, I had the photo, bought the video (well DVD) and even purchased a t-shirt... Which I proudly wore for the following few days (oh, and I have no clean clothes). Hopefully I'll be coming down from cloud 9 soon...
New Zealand is like one huge adventure playground for adults, around each corner is another activity. The list is endless... Well ever growing, with all the crazy 'new ways of reaching the ultimate adrenaline rush' being invented every day.
Enough of that, I hope you're all having a blast too...
