6th Of February
Yes, David managed to convince me. But on one condition, we do a tandem together!
Waking up this morning wasn't hard as butterflies was flying around in our tummies. I felt a bit sick, couldn't believe i was to do a bungy. It's funny the way we were not more nervous when we did the skydive. But i suppose it's because you're strapped on to someone who really knows what he's doing. While bungy jumping I'll be strapped on to David who really doesn't know what he's doing!
At the same time we were really excited and really wanted it done.
Arriving there was even worse, you know you're so close to jump...aaahh!!
It's nearly time, after the strongest coffee ever and about 20 toilet visits we're ready to jump!
The guys were really good, they tripple checked everything so i felt a bit safer. We decided that David was going to be the one who counted to 3 and pushed us.
I can remeber thinking how stupid i was doing this! But if i died i'd die in a beautiful lake, with David!
So David counted to 3 and we jumped. It was so bloody scary!! We went in to the water half way and then up again, then down, then up, then down. I burst out laughing! I'M ALIVE!!
We get back up and we feel great! As i go on the Internet David says "Fuck i, I'll do it again" As you get a discount the second time, only 55$! So up he went again and jumped, this time with his metal horns to make him feel better. He really loved it and said it was great!
Pictures of us both jumping you'll see when we get home as we already sent them home.

Next stop was smelly smelly Rotorua. This is where all the volcanic activity is still happening, hence the smell of sulphur in the air. The thermal pools are everywhere, and not cool enough to swim in either. We arrived late so didn't get a chance to visit the Maori village, we went to the aquatic centre instead as we sure needed a shower after all the excitement of the bungy jumping. Had a swim, a few races in the pool and back on the road to Waitomo caves. We were hoping to sleep on the way somewhere, but as it happens on this road there were no rest areas to pull into, so we ended up driving the whole way and slept in the car park of The Black Water Rafting company. All is well that ends well.
