Huka Jet And Killer Prawn Golf


When you can't skydive in New Zealand, you just do something else whacky. We booked ourselves onto the Huka Jet, which is a tiny jetboat which hurtles down the waitomo river missing trees, and rocks by centimeters. The driver also sends it into a 360 degree spin every now and again. Unfortunatly it was throwning it down with rain so it cut into your face like daggers, we only managed to make it half way up the river before having to turn back. No worries though as we got a full refund and still had a wicked time on the boat.
After that we crossed the road to New Zealands only prawn farm. It would usually be too cold for the prawns but they use the geothermal pools to grow them. We had 2 options.. go fishing for prawns, or hire an 8 iron and whollop 10 golf balls into the prawn farm to try and kill them that way. Naturally I decided on a spot of golf. Some of you will of seen me at the driving range, and will know I'm not that consistent, but add some prawns into the equation and I hit 10 balls perfectly. No idea how many I killed.

Later we watched Pirates Of the Caribbean at the cinema, and went out for beers with some guys fom the hostel.
