Agrodome

We now find ourselves in Rotorua. Home of the geysers, hot mud pools, thermal baths and a whole lot of stink. No joke folks, there is a unique smell to this town that isn't close to roses...

But forget all that because it has the Agrodome. An adventure seekers delight. Choose anything from bungy jumping, speed boating, zorbing, sky diving (simulation) canyon swinging and many more.

We decided to start out with the Zorb and work our way up. For those who don't know, a zorb is a big (okay, perhaps gigantic) plastic ball in which you find yourself in the middle of. Once there, they push you down a hill and let gravity do the rest. Oh, and to add a bit of a twist, they fill your area with water just to make it interesting.

Though it didn't last as long as you would have liked, it was a great ride overall. Completely safe to do it, you have the option of pairing up or going solo.

Once that was done, the next event I participated in was the simulation free fall. Produced by a giant wind tunnel, the point of the ride was to see how long you can fly for as you would when you jump out of a plane. The only difference is that this is 3 metres from the ground as opposed to 10,000 feet.
