Well it was up early and feeling much more refreshed than the previous two days.\u00c2\u00a0 I hitched a lift with the Magic Bus over to the i-Site where I took a hopper bus over to Agroworld to say hello to the sheep for Kirsty and to find out for Paula whether they’re the same as the ones back home.\u00c2\u00a0 [thumb:1185:l][thumb:1187:l][newline]<\/p>\n
\u00c2\u00a0Having completed my educational excursion it was a 100 yard walk down the road to the highlight of the day, Zorbing.<\/p>\n
Only the hydrozorb was available which made my choice simple as the dry option was picking up too much speed.\u00c2\u00a0 In I dived into the zorb with a bit more water added.\u00c2\u00a0 Being adventerous and on my own I picked the wibbly wobbly route.\u00c2\u00a0 [thumb:1176:l][thumb:1178:l][newline] Even in the hydrozorb I picked up enough speed to jump the dividing line between the main course and the wibbly wobbly one that I was supposed to be following.\u00c2\u00a0 I had been expecting to come out damp but instead soaking wet.\u00c2\u00a0 Very good fun.[thumb:1183:l][thumb:1184:l][thumb:1188:l][newline]<\/p>\n
Next off my plan was to see some Kiwis.\u00c2\u00a0 I was lucky enough to get a lift with a couple I had met the day before at the underground aventure over to Rainbow springs were there is a centre.\u00c2\u00a0 The rid that they had hired was bright red Dragon Wagon camper van complete with tinted windows, party lights, furry dice, neon lighting and what the wanted air conditioning.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was interesting to see a real Kiwi and sad to hear that they have suffered such a decline.\u00c2\u00a0 I also took the opportunity to have a look round and sample the Rainbow Springs.\u00c2\u00a0 There is a fascinating collection of fauna there.<\/p>\n
\u00c2\u00a0After this is was up the cable car besides Rainbow Springs to the top of the hill overlooking Rotorua.\u00c2\u00a0 Out I got and onto the Sky Swing to get a bit more height.\u00c2\u00a0 Accelerated to 120 km\/hr it was quite a thrill especially as I got to pull the cord to let us go.<\/p>\n
Before I came down I had a go on the Luge, a sort of go-kart downhill on a concrete track, quite good fun but much tamer than events earlier that day.\u00c2\u00a0 After that it was back to the YHA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
