This morning we get and plan a day of mini adventures.
Laureen and I head out to a place called AGRODOME just outside of town. Its a working sheep farm and adventure centre. First up, we went on the AGROJET. This is NZ fastest jet sprint boat and it goes from 0 to 100 in 4 seconds and only needs 6inches of water to move on. Very fast and we did some wicked turns and twists round the course. After this we decided to look at some sheep and cows. Then we became Zorbnauts. It turned out Pete the barman also worked at the Zorb place but he would only give us a discount if we did the Hydo Zorb (wet one to normal folk) So, Laureen and I get dressed in the lovely boardies and tshirt they provide, ride up the hill in the car, get in a large inflated ball filled with hot water and then rolled 200m down a hill. Now i know how clothes feel in a wachine machine!!!. It was the funniest 5mins ive had in a long while.
After we dried off we head for the gondola. The views are amazin looking over Lake Rotorua and the wether has been fab, but still abit chilly. Up the top of the gondola we had a go at Lugeing. There kind of like a teatray with wheels with a stop and go handle. so simple but really great. Needless to say we had a few goes and had to fight of the little kids that were on it as well. After this we walked back into town and head for a spa. You probably think how posh but Rotorua is actually a Thermal hotspot and theres spas all over the place, theres even a spa at the hostel but theres backpackers in it!!
Once again Laureen and I hit the town athough I couldnt go to wild, I have a big day planned tomorrow. The photos will be coming I just havent worked out to do them yet!! wheres Hanah when you need her!!
See you in a bit
