Wellington, New Zealand

Hey everyone, I did some crazy white water rafting yesterday at River Valley. We were all a bit worried about it as the promotional video wasn't really encouraging: lots of people falling off rafts, off waterfalls, falling into huge rocks, scary stuff. So I didn't sleep too well as you can imagine and the following morning it was raining heavily (as it had been all night) which didn't improve our chances for a injury-free white water rafting trip.

In the end, it wasn't too bad, but it was still scary and the water was icy cold, so we made sure we followed all commands so that we didn't fall in. Though we went for a few dips along the way in the water including jumping into the river from a 7 metre high rock, this was cool, literally!!

Now in rainy Wellington and heading to the South Island tomorrow for around two weeks. Will let you know how that goes, will be colder that is for sure!!
