Bungy Jump at Waikato River

Adventure activities is in the blood of New Zealander, they have a lot innovation extreme games... Bungy Jump is the famous one.. i tell myself, "dont leave NZ without bungy jump"
i'm alone while going for the bungy jump, i dont want to pay for photo, so i just take a snap before my turn... down there is Waikato River.
"You want to get wet?" This is question from instructor before i jump, although isnt the most aggresive in NZ, but good enough for me to try for first time. Safety caution of this sport is good, there are some machine other than just a rope, except node of tightening of rope seem simple... Jump before me is 2 japanese girl, they shout from the moment they start to jump until reaching end of the rope... wow!!!! How about me? Just skip the jumping... I face some difficulty to walk after the jump... I feel that moment is cool, but short... and costly... hehe...
I take a trail after my bungy jump... a long Waikato River... River that tells what is blue and green... and bit white...

Huka fall.... that 75 is my weight, mark down for setup of bungy jump... some kind evidence shown i experiencesd that... i saw few person with numbers along the trail... so i knew their weight... especially ladies... hehe...Down stream of Huka fall... i didnt take that jet experience... Seem like James Bond in action...In the middle of forest, there is area without any trees, but a lots smoke, this area just get burn?? aftermath?? i miss out any things??here i come, into the smoke... to rescue maybe... but those smoke isnt cause by any fire from the surface of earth... but deep from the earth... huh........ This place called Crater of Moon, because these crater make this area looks like surface of moon... I take a walk back to Lake Taupo town, i saw this duck which i always saw in cartoon, the one always being hunted... Today is a cloudy day, i didnt explore Lake Taupo much... which is the hole in the center of north island, this lake is really big that you can feel the borderless, wave, strong wind....
Lake Taupo is caldera of a huge volcano...
Beside the lake, i found this as part of the promotion for tournament of rugby... hehe...
Kitchen of Rainbow logde, clean and have some kicthen accessory to use... salt, sugar, and papper.... my dinner tonight is steak, potato, and gold kiwi... hehe... for sure is self-cook.

Today i really walk for whole day, from 10am to 5pm... thanks lot pa and ma... for the gift of leg...
