Must...... update......... blog.........
The past few days have been a blur.
Every day has been packed and we have very little down time. Justin and I decided to take a timeout and stay in Wellington for an extra night to recuperate.
A few days ago we took on 'The Abyss'- a 5 hour extreme cave tour.
With wetsuits and helmets we repelled 250 feet down into this cave. We strapped our harnesses to a cable and did a 100 meter 'flying fox' swing down ever further. From there we all got on rafts and went black water rafting in the dark. The whole ceiling of the cave was lit up with glow worms.
Planet Earth did a segment on the cave we were in.
From there we had to squeeze ourselves through tight jagged rocks, climb two waterfalls and find our way out following the light.
The next day we did an 18k hike up a mountain. One of the toughest things I've ever done, but I did it. Justin and a few others broke off and tried to climb the big mountain (Mount Doom in the Lord of the Rings series) but they quit about 10 minutes in.
The whole climb took 8 hours.
Today I'm going to try busking with my friend Nick from Syracuse.
