Road Trip: Rafting
07 Feb 2008 13:20
Day 3 - Waitangi Day, and it was time to take a wee break. One of the things Chris was very keen to do was to throw me and Darryl
off a waterfall on the Kaituna River
.I managed to do some rafting over the New Years break and had an absolute blast and the talk of a 7 metre waterfall was too much to resist :)
So Darryl, Ian (Chris's brother) and myself got sent down the river with Chris in tow in his kayak. After getting busy with some grade 3/4 rapids, we went for the big one..
At this point I think Chris was wondering if he would be doing the rest of the Road Trip by himself, but luckily for him we survived unscathed, wet but pumped with adrenalin.
A very awesome 45 minute jaunt, and one I would highly recommend to anyone who is keen for a bit of white water. They also do kayaking and sledding down the river, so there is plenty of action for those of us who love a bit of water :)
