LeAnne zipping zip line

Day 6 (12/27): Today's agenda looks something like this: Eat breakfast, lose your breakfast, eat lunch, lose your lunch... So, after breakfast we headed to the "flying fox", a 750 ft zipline. You crawl through a suspended wooden tunnel, walk across two ropelines and then you grab hold and fly down the zipline about 40 feet off the ground. A little tenuous but a great adrenaline rush and, of course, perfectly safe because you are harnessed in and attached with a safety line but still good fun. We were bothered by more light rain today and, unfortunately, the weather was too yucky for flying. Our plane trip past White Island, an active volcano off the coast, was turned into a road trip through New Zealand countryside. We stopped at the Agrodome for a sheep show. We saw a large variety of sheep, a sheep being shorn, milked a cow and herding dogs herding ducks. We proceeded to our lodging for the next two days, Kawaha Point Lodge. We've taken over the entire lodge, a splendid inn with views of Lake Rotorua and a fabulous garden.
