We are having a good time here in NZ. We went bungy jumping the other day and it was pretty sweet. I had never done it before, but my dad had...so I had to do it since he's a wiener. Anyway, the bridge is home of the first commercial bungy jumping place in the world. Here is a picture
Here is what it looked like while standing at the edge...a lot more scary in person
It's a hard thing to make yourself do something that seems like suicide. When you look over the edge...we'll your perspective changes. I'm glad there were other people there to cheer me on, I think the peer pressure made me jump quicker. I was the first jumper of the day so there were a ton of tourists watching in anticipation. And by tourists, I mean Asians. I must be on 20 different home videos now, it was pretty funny. I don't have time to put any videos of my jump right now, but I'll get to it sometime.
After bungy jumping in Qeenstown, we flew to Auckland in the north island. We did some cool stuff like going to a cave with glow worms and stopping at a sheep show. Again, I'll put more pictures up later when I'm more motivated. Since we've arrived in the Bay of Islands we have been really busy...golfing, para sailing, scuba diving...etc. Here is a picture of my golf ball that landed in a tree after I hit it over 200 yards off the tee...I feel like I should have won a million dollars or something.
The golf course was amazing. I've only played pebble beach on Tiger Woods for PS2, but this course reminded me of that. Half of the course was along cliffs and water, it was pretty awesome.
Para sailing was really cool too. The guys that were running the operation were from Ocean City, New Jersey. Apparently in NZ it cost half as much and you go twice as high...and it was bout 500 times more beautiful than Jersey. Good times were had.
Scuba diving was pretty sweet too. Nobody got sick, so I don't have any funny puking videos...sorry to disappoint.
Ok, my posts have been really infrequent and lame. When I am traveling around all I do is tell you what I'm doing...and I don't put in anything funny. Thats pronanny why I don't get very many hits anymore. So I am going to look through some past emails to find something to post. I know I gave Dunne an explanation of how to work the system of getting people that are out of your league...let me see if I can find it. Also, as requested, sometime in the near future I will be making a short post honoring the great Joel Beck...
