Your no longer bleeding local All Things Considered host here...reporting from the Sydney airport and survived New Zealand. Ahhh...New Zealand! I would like to say it was relaxing and refreshing but this is the land the invented the bunji jump! So when in New Zealand be extreme like the Kiwis!
The List: Explore geothermal villages - try to touch the water and steam
Zorb (placed in a giant hampster ball and thrown down a hill....FUN!)
Drive like a maniac in a real off road dune buggy
Drive on the left hand side of the road
Get catapolted into the air on a swing
Innertube 200ft down into the earth and look for glowing worms (or as what I call them, cannabolistic maggots with shiny poop)
Avoid gunshots in Auckland
Luge down a cement track avoiding children and keeping my skin on
Results: 1 bruise (caving) 1 bad skin scrap on my bum (luging) and still recovering from a burn from snorkeling.
What I can't wait to tell you is about the details of it all and the culture I am learning about.
What is strange is I lost all track of time, days and have no idea what's going on except that Obama won South Carolina? Really? And McCain and ...Romney? Are playing the liberal card. Can't say it is something I am dying to get the details about but I can say it is interesting how much American politics is reported on here. We really have a huge impact on the world.
Here in Sydney I plan to walk on top of that enormous bridge...surf and maybe take a nap. G'Day Mate!
