This week I have been traveling south on the North Island to Mercury Bay, Rotorurua and Waitomo.
I have done some kayaking , visited the Polynesian Spa and "swooped".
So what is the Swoop? Three people are packed in a sack and lifted 130 feet in the air and in typical New Zealand style, they drop you and you swing in the air till you stop.
I found some friends from my tour bus to join me. Below is Joanna from Sweden and Derek from Oshawa.
I have a video below thats about 1.5 minutes. I wasn't able to rotate it to make it up right. Its ok, it just adds to the dizzying effect:) Joanna was the one to pull the cord to start the drop, brave girl. I'm the one screaming like a chicken of course. Very scary. You think you are going to hit the ground every time you get close to it. (sorry Dad...I know your scared of hights and don't enjoy seeing me falling form them!)
