Zorbing in Rotorua
Kia Ora!
When in Rotorua, we decided to do a spot of Zorbing!
What is Zorbing??? I hear you ask, well here’s our attempt to explain the fun “sport” that is Zorbing.
First of all you need a Zorb, an air filled plastic ball, big enough to fit a couple of people in! Then you need a hill, from which to roll it down! Finally you need a couple of intrepid travellers, yours truly! And just for that extra bit of excitement, some hot water to make it a splashing time!
Español: Estando en Rotoura decidimos probar y hacer Zorbing… Y os preguntareis que es Zorbing, pues aparentemente es un nuevo deporte bastante divertido. Primero necesitas un balon de plastico gigante lleno de aire, suficiente grande para meter 2 personas (caben hasta 3). Despues necesitas una colina donde la bola se deslize. Y finalmente necesitas dos intrepidos viajeros y un poco de alegria a la vida, un poco de agua caliente en el balon , lo hacen mas divertido aun..!

Yes proof that there was water inside too! See towel for reference!!! 
Esp: Hay dos tipos de colinas una recta y una con curvas , repetimos la operacion , esta vez no juntosa pero solos en la de las curvas, pero no nos reimos tanto como bajar juntos dentro de la balon de plastico…!!
Apologies this post is so short we will add more things soon..!!
Sentimos que este post sea tan corto, pronto pondremos mas fotillos
Hasta pronto.!!

Hello there,
So Zorbing is the thing to do during Holy Week – the Kiwis think of everything!! It looks like a lot of fun – but didn’t you bang heads?
We are off to Port Douglas with Mam in seven weeks – can’t wait – but she is petrified she will see some of the spiders etc that you have been reporting about on your trip. Thanks!!
Hope you have a great Easter and glad to report it hasn’t rained since you guys left Sydney!!
Lads not sure where you’ve gotten to by now on the south island but this would be worth a look. Wanaka is about half way from the fox glacier to queenstown

btw don’t think you can get a drink this friday but the bars are open at midnight, you can drink to midnight on saturday, on sunday you can get a drink with a meal which gives you 2 and a half hours to drink and eat. Easter sunday sometimes goes by the name “Seven Dinners Sunday”
um this is on in queenstown this weekend too

So we hope the internet cafes lack of quality improves in our next town or we will have to show you the south island from South America.

Hi All,
Back on track..! we are in Queenstown, this place is bigger than we thought (after being last night in a town of 291 people..!!).
The landscape from Haast to Queenstown was absolutly stunning, beautiful Autumn colours (In Easter! 😉 ), yellow trees, and the mountains ..wow! for those who like to paint landscapes this is the place..!
Anyway..
So what we were saying last night to you was:
Agustin,
El agua del grifo va contrario a las agujas del reloj, pero esta mañana parecia que iba para el otro lado.. (pero era sin jabon, con jabon se ve mas claro), los cientificos Murphy y del Moral en el baño del camping, rellenando una y otra vez el lavabo.. juas que risa!
Richie,
Thanks for give the link to your pals in Dublin, they seem to be very happy to have you back in there.
Are you sad leaving Well??
We still have 15 days left before the big jump to South America.. we can’t believe it!!!
Nadine,
