Hard Work in Taupo
... to surf some waves that weren't quite big enough. On the way we stopped to watch some people who had chosen to partake in one of New Zealand's traditions and get a nasal aenima by means of a 47m drop into the river with a piece of elastic tied around their feet (yes I want to try it but being the only bungee in town it's a bit pricey - I'll save my turn for a later blog...). We also stopped off at the hot-springs to warm our fingers (not that it wasn't hot enough ...
An Unexpected Journey: Job hunting in NZ

Tente plantée, petit jeu de carte, apéro et repas chaud. Les nuits sont toujours aussi fraiches, et nous avons beau avoir globalement ...

They also said that its better for the pressure to be released this way otherwise it would build up below the surface and cause an even bigger disaster.
