New Zealandd

Day One: arrive at New Zealand, check 3 people into the hotel and sneak 2 more into the room. Search the city for a normal supermarket and end up buying asian pot stickers and spaghetti with sauce from this asian market. saweet

Day Two: travel to Rangitoto Island by ferry and take a tour of he volcanic rock. Saw great views of Auckland! Then we walked around the city and went to the Art Museum.

Day Three: Rent a car and drive 3 hours down to Waitomo and took an underground tubing tour of the Glow-worm Caves. So cool. So frightening. (as in, I actually asked God to save us, yikes). Then we got lost for like 2 hours trying to find the Marokopa Falls which were amazing! Ate Asian food for dinner, go Auckland.

Day Four: Woke up at the ass crack of dawn and drove 4 hours to Rotorua where we went ZORBING! We decided to do a group zorb so elise, elisa and I were in one ball and Megan and Erin were in another.  Essentially there is this huge plastic ball with a hole in it, resembles a womb, creepy, and you superman jump through the hole. Naturally, my ass got stuck and i was just half in the ball and half out. awkward. Then they fill the ball with water. dude this is sounding more like a womb as I go...and you roll down the hill. It was crazy and poss the most fun thing ever. After our Zorbing adventure we saw natural, sulfur hot springs. We ended our day with going to the Polynesian Spa where they took natural, water hot springs and turned them into pools. We relaxed in two different pools-one was good for the skin and the other good for muscle relaxation. The pools overlooked beautiful New Zealand lakes and countryside-it was really cool! Then we ventured back to the city, dropped the car off, bought some souvenirs and went out to La Porchetta for dinner with the whole crew. The next day, we headed for the States!
