Cowa-bungy!
Oct. 3rd, 2003 11:15 pmOkay, looooooong over due update on New Zealand exploits to come, but here's the short-short version (as I anticipate Carrie is writing a longer version and you can read it there):
The Highlights:
Taupo Hot Springs--naturally heated thermal pools/spas, very warm, sooooo relaxing
Roturua--AXE THROWING--there will be pictures of me (albeit in a stupid helmet for safety reasons) throwing an axe and ACTUALLY HITTING SOMETHING
Roturua Mud Pools--oooh, mud.
Taupo Jet Boating--360 spins in a speed boat on the river ISEN (As in ISENGARD people), what more do you need to know?
TAUPO BUNGY!--I fell off something...ON PURPOSE! NOT TO MY DEATH! (Though very much to my terri-fication, excitement, and against all common sense) I believe the phrase I used was something like "I threw myself off this platform and my instincts went "DUR?" because they were too confused by my utter lack of sense to shout 'WHAT THE FUCK? WE'RE FALLING!!!' "
Chee. More exploits to come when I type up some of the weird-ass things I said while driving, reading Carrie's mind, and otherwise being a tourist in New Zealand. Am currently not at own computer with the down time required to recount it all, as I've said, Carrie will have it by now. Check it out.
