22 days to go.....

New Zealand was totally our Amazing Race adventure. We had actually seen on Amazing Race the contestants do a challenge where they got to Zorb. Zorbing was created in New Zealand and since that's where we were, zorbing is what we did.

I had been emailing the owner of a Zorbing place before we left and when we got there, he gave us a smokin deal! Zorbing is one of the coolest things ever! It was such an adrenalin rush, but it was also safe.....sort of!

The first time I went down in the Zorb I was by myself in the ball.

Going by yourself is safe. The next time we went up, they talked us into going down in the ball together. It was so much fun, just slightly more dangerous! hahaha You have no control in that ball as it travels down this course. We went slamming into each other the whole way down. It was hilarious! I thought at one point I had broken my little toe because things got so rough in there, but we really did have such a great time.

This picture was taken after all the Zorbing fun! We had asked the guy when or if they were ever going to open a Zorb place in the U.S. He said probably not since Americans sue everyone. He said trying to get insurance in the U.S. for Zorbing was going to cost more than they would ever make. Bummer! I still hear every once in awhile that they may put one in Tennessee. If that ever happens, we are so going to Tennessee to do some Zorbing!

So, pack your bags and get your little bottoms to New Zealand! It's an awesome place!

Love,
