There will be pictures to come, as soon as I find someone with a scanner. (Nana??)
So around 11:45 Brock, Brook and I headed up to Auckland. (Awesome people by the way.) We were going bungy jumping!!! I was in charge of booking and all that technical stuff and silly me, didn't get proper directions there! I figured it would be relitively easy to find. You know, just head towards that MASSIVE bridge structure? Apparently not. But thats okay. We found it eventually. And had the bonus of driving over the bridge twice (that moterway really sucks you in)
So we payed, harnessed up, took photos and maybe screamed a little bit and then set off. We walked up the bridge to this little 'pod thing' where the whole group waited and watched as people leapt to their death. Brock was second. He did great. I was 5th or 6th? I don't know. I stopped counting. I may or may not have been having a major freak out. When it was my turn, the guide person thingy had to tell me to do everything twice. The hardest part is jumping, the falling part is pretty sweet. And I would DEFINITELY do it again. I would tell you more, buuuut I need to sleep and I will post the video soon so that will be heaps better!
But before I go, the second half of my day.
Raced back from Auckland to meet up with Jaz and Ruth and some friends of theirs from US (all very awesome people also!) We were going on a night time kayak trip. Ever kayaked in the dark? It's awesome. And it was a beautiful night. The water was so calm, the stars were so bright, it was nice and warm. Seriously, one of the most beautiful nights I have ever seen. It made me miss echo and the peaceful nights sitting out on the dock and staring out at the stars, or our early morning kayak paddles... Anyways, the best part about that trip was when we went through this little gorge/tunnel/cliff thing. We turned off our lights and floated down and there were little glow worms all over the place!! It was so beautiful!
What a great day. And tomorrow, The Hamilton Gardens! Finally!
Oh wait, one more thing: I ran out of memory on my camera, so I put my other card in. The one that I haven't had to use for ages cause I am usually pretty good at uploading my pics straight away. Anyways, when I put the second memory card in I found out it was also full! With pictures from almost 2 years ago!! It was crazy, I had totally forgotten about those pics! But they certainly did bring back a lot of memories!
