Heather's Travels
Hello Everone!
Still having a fantastic time in NZ. The hangliding was amazing, can't believe I deliberately ran off the side of a hill at 2000ft! The view was beautiful and the glide was very smooth. Until ofcourse we missed the landing site and set down in a field of cows...in cow pats!
Sky diving was brilliant too. There are no words! I decided to go the whole hog and jump from 13,000ft. There is no way of describing what goes through your mind when you hang out of an aeroplane at that altitude!
I have the dvd of my skydive, which you will all have to watch and laugh at when I get back. Royce (the backpacker's hostel manager at Nelson) said I looked like biggles. Hmmm!
i'm currently in the North island in a little town called ohakune. I was in Wellington yesterday (hence the photo) and visited Te Papa, the museum. This afternoon I'm horse riding again, then tomorrow we go to Taupo for the Rock and Ropes course, then on to Rotarua for the Mauri dinner and an easy day of walking. After that its night abseiling and the glowworm tour, before an overnight sail at Bay of Islands. Then, on to Auckland where the tour ends on Sunday.
Missing you all, but wish you were here rather than me being home!!!!!!
Take care.
