Rotorua - Luge and White Water Rafting (7m Waterfall)


This



Today we decided to go on the Luge just outside Rotarua - much fun was had by all. They talked me (Shell) into it but it was good. I went down three times! You are taken up in the gondola and then come down the luge track and then go back up again on a chairlift - which is a good ride in itself. The louts went off white water rafting and as the following pictures show had a fabulous time. I went into town and spent some money! Not much though!

After racing down a mountain this morning we decided that we needed a bath so off to the white water we went. We had no choice - we were doing 'level 5' 21 foot water fall due to low water levels. Not sure why, there seemed to be more than enough water.
So the three nutters went out on the raft and got fully soaked. Oh but what fun we had. How can we top this we have become adrenalin junkies now.
Shelly went shopping which suited her fine and was more than thrilled to have her hunk home at the end of the day. I took my hunk with me just in case he needed CPR.

Wow!!!! I think I would wet my pants - not that you'd notice with so much water about. Whatever happened to just towing a caravan around and stopping for tea and biccies - I thought that was what grey nomads did??
You pair are great.
Love Merrilyn xoxo
