Alexandria Mark X Rifles

Going South!

moved to the days of winter sports, we continue south, against the cold. Our goal was to Wellington, capital of New Zealand, and ferry service to the South Island. On the way to read it but not take Michi, hop in the home of bungee jumping from a bridge at the same time! But the way to jump was unique, as in the hills by a famous Shire. The canyon retired with 100-meter high rock walls of this landscape, and the jump is 80 meters free fall of the highest jump in New Zealand Canyon ...
I may jump twice before, but still turned on at once this incredible tingling, as I was told that I should now make it to the edge, at the extreme edge of a rickety diving board. The weight of the rope used up, the head says no, the heart says "Yes!", So let's get down, with loud howling ... I'll try the video that Sandra has made, upload, great only because of the scenery. But my death cry is not too bad either ;-) Below, I was caught by a boat, and pulled up to a winch back the 100 meters, almost as good as the jump. Then off to the car, and again - off to the south!
Wellington
a capital city with only 300,000 inhabitants had to be there on our route. Sandra particularly wanted this time to see more of the city than it was then. Somehow we managed nevertheless to see the city in two days of almost nothing. Instead we have the nature and enjoyed Irish pubs are down to view points, and have both New Zealand's first wind turbine and a great Seeloewenkolonie visited.
heavy heart we left our dear rental car at port and are jumping on the ferry - take the car would be enormously expensive was. Therefore, we planned that we only get around the remaining four to five days on the South Island by train.
