Life Is Good In Roto-Vegas
In which I go to ‘Roto-vegas”, take a gondola up a hill and luge my way back down again and visit another thermal zone.

Off again this morning. A thankfully short 1 hour journey this time to Rotorua.

And thank god it was an hour. Due to a clutch problem, we were squeezed into a tiny little bus. There was no room for my legs so I had to keep them in the aisle. After about half and hour, I started experiencing back pain so I shifted about a bit and dozed in order to shorten the experience. And it worked.
Right now, I’m at SkyLines SkyRides, just outside Rotorua town centre. I’ve just been lugeing, which is to say, allowing gravity to whisk myself for up to 2km down a hill in a little 3 wheeled go kart. And boy was it fun, particularly the advanced course where speed really picked up nicely.
Tomorrow, I’m booked in to do some white water rafting. One of the waterfalls is 7 metres high. Gonna be AWESOME! Well, with any luck. Right now, I’m gonna let this carrot cake go down, then I’m off to Kuirau Park for some more thermal stuff.

Laundry drying. Waiting for a pizza. Life ticking along nicely in Rotorua.
