Zorbing and swooping in smelly Rotorua



It's not what you know, it's WHO you know! Tracey, my kiwi friend who I met in Ireland, "tourguided" us around Rotorua yesterday. We popped into the Agrodome to watch some zorbing, and ended up having a go for free, plus she roped us into doing a swoop (free again!) which involves being hoisted up by the bungy crane, and then (after pulling the cord which I chose to do... madness!) dropping at a rapid rate before being pulled forward and back by the cords etc. It was great cos we were lying in like a hangliding harness, so no strain on the back or anything.
She also took us shopping, and then we all had some wine back at the hostel and met 7 cute swedes who are traveling around NZ in a minivan, so it ended up being a rather late (early!) night.
