Rotorua-Part 2

Me? Nervous?????

I think he is a bit exitied!!!!

I knew there would be trouble when I saw this sign!!!

In the capsule!!!!

On the way back we decided to visit the Skyline Luge activity place....it was still raining but Graham thought that would add to the fun on the luge's! We paid, and then entered these capsule things that take you all the way up this big mountain where all the action is. It was a shame it was raining and cloudy as the views from the capsule would have been amazing, but we will probably go again in the summer.

At the top there was a cafe with panoramic views of rotorua ( well...it would have been had it not been cloudy!), a gift shop, luges and a high wire type thing!

Obviously Graham was up for all of it!

Went to the luges first...Graham went down the scenic route intially...I went to take pics and waited. The luge went all the way to the bottom of the hill, so he came back up on a kind of snazzy ski lift. He got off laughing....full of soil and scuffs all over.....he flipped the luge going down!!! Only Graham could drive a luge like Porsche...two wheels and a door handle around the corners...he ended up in a rockery!!!!!

Then he went on the advanced track....he didn't flip it...but afterwards we went to check the photo's that the centre take and it had taken a great shot of him on one wheel going around a corner!!!! So we bought it as we couldn't stop laughing!

Next...he gets strapped up to go up this really tall tower/wire. He went up backwards and then had to pull a cord to release himself, at which point he flew through the air like a ping pong ball....his face on the video afterwards was a picture!!! There were about 30 Japenese tourists watching him and they all shrieked when he released the cage!!!!

Enjoy the pics!
