Zorbing




On Thursday we left Auckland for a weekend trip south to Mt. Ruapeho. On the way, we stopped in a little town (or "decent sized city" by NZ standards) called Rotorua. Rotorua, it just so happens, is home to zorbing. Zorbing is an attraction that involves a giant inflatable ball and a hill. Basically, you strap yourself into the center of a big beach ball and roll and bounce down the hill.

I did it. These aren't pictures of me...the scoundrels wouldn't let me bring my camera. But, I did it.


It's a unique experience, but I would advise against eating beforehand.

I understand that
Colin won, but Conner was teaching


Cameron to walk on his hands and fell. He has a concussion and a broken nose! He should have had one of those balls!
Did you eat before zorbing -- Lamb samosas, perhaps?
Did you ski down the volcano? Now you have to go from "Travels with Charlie" to Travels with Taylor" I'll wait for the book!!
