ENJOY Ciao for now Sarah and Mick xxx http://www.getjealous.com/tuney http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=499035&go=tuney This morning there was no rain – yeh! So we have a break in the weather to try and hurl ourselves around Agroadventures! We have bought a ticket which gives us a choice of three types of activity to get your pulse racing. We originally were going to do the Schweeb, the Freefall extreme and the Swoop but in the end we did change our minds...more on that later!The adventure place is connected ... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=499035&go=tuney Thu, 3 Jul 2008 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=499036&go=tuney After our schweeb experience we were both a bit out of breath but we wandered across to the “Freefall extreme” place to see what else we had in store for ourselves today! As we walked up the stairs we could look back down at others having a bash at the schweeb – phew its hard work!We got to the freefall place and there were a couple of girls in front of us having a go at the free... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=499036&go=tuney Thu, 3 Jul 2008 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=499106&go=tuney ... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=499106&go=tuney Thu, 3 Jul 2008 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=499107&go=tuney ... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=499107&go=tuney Thu, 3 Jul 2008 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=498727&go=tuney We left North Rotorua this morning and the weather doesn"t look fantastic but we decided to give the “Buried village” a whirl which is located South East of the main town. The road leading to the village takes you through the Redwood Forests and past the gorgeous “Blue Lake”.Map in hand we headed off around the village and it was a bit eerie in the rain and mist.

We have decided to try a new campsite again tonight – we just can"t make our mind up about where we want to stay at the moment – just as well Rotorua has loads of choices! We have tried a new place just near the Redwood Forest just close to the blue lake. The owners seemed excited that Mick wa... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=498728&go=tuney Wed, 2 Jul 2008 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=498429&go=tuney Today is another lovely day so we are going to make the most of it and have another go at the gondola (we did one in Queenstown) and the luge they have there. Its a great opportunity to get up to high land and get the views back across Lake Rotorua and the town of Rotorua.This time I wasn't really fazed by the cable car as the climb wasn't half as steep as the one in Queenstown and as we neared th... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=498429&go=tuney Tue, 1 Jul 2008 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=498430&go=tuney After our experience on the skyswing we needed something a bit more sedate so we went to the luge. We had two rides and the first one had to be on the scenic route - and it was very different to the one we did in Queenstown. This one is about 2km in length and so it was much longer...It was bumpy in places but it was a lovely ride down through the forest down to the bottom where we got the chair l... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=498430&go=tuney Tue, 1 Jul 2008 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=498726&go=tuney We didn't really like our campsite last night so after our exciting day at the gondola we went in search of new digs. We have found a place just by a stream that feeds into one of the local lakes and it is really small and quaint.We had our choice of sites and we took up a position just overlooking the stream. We were joined by the local duck fraternity and also the local dove population. I probab... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=498726&go=tuney Tue, 1 Jul 2008 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=498406&go=tuney This morning we were so glad to see blue skies!! It has been nearly a week since we have seen such nice weather and so we are going to make sure we appreciate while it lasts!!We are leaving Taupo today but since the weather has been good to us we are going to go on a lake cruise across Lake Taupo to see the Maori carvings in the rocks in one of the bays...Hope you like the pics.M and SXxPS We have... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=498406&go=tuney Mon, 30 Jun 2008 12:00:00 GMT
