incoherently rambling since 2003

What a day it’s been.

Decided that the perfectly sane thing to do at 10am in the morning was to do Skyjump… You know, 192 metres of heart stopping action. :) (and I have some photos as well which i’m sure you’ll enjoy)

Now for those who are saying ‘yeah yeah, but it’s not like bungee jumping’ I ask you this. Have you stood at the edge of a 192 metre tower and jumped off. I know you haven’t so get your ass back where you came from! :) .. (ps - The Auckland tower is the highest continually running jump platform in the world).

After that, I took a day trip over to Waiheke Island and a two-hour tour with Greg who’s motto is that relaxing is the only way to live. I think i’m going to agree with him there.

A beautiful island approximately 30 minutes from the Auckland Viaduct, with a killer view, fantastic people and a much slower pace in life I was escorted almost back in time to when things felt significant cleaner, significantly simpler and altogether less stressed than the world that I enjoy so much today. This is a place where teenage boys and girls haven’t eaten a single meal from McDonalds. Not a bad way to start a new life….
