Today was a day of contrasts… This morning we had a nice breakfast in our hotel and then headed to the spa and each had a massage. It was soooo relaxing. The girl who “did” me was really good – she knew exactly what hurt and what I wanted and I came out feeling relaxed and my shoulders felt really loose. Mark was a little worried that it was a bit girly but there were actually more men there than women and he enjoyed it too. So that was my half of the day. Mark then had his choice of activity. Quad biking. It was… (please choose option from below and insert here)
Option One:
… great fun! I got to zoom around stunning scenery on a massive quad bike; spraying through mud, splashing through rivers, zooming up and down hills, over jumps and through scrubland. I also got to play the hero as some knob in front of me tried to take a hill too fast and ended up at the bottom of a ditch with a quad bike on top of him. I came home covered in mud and it was brilliant.
Option Two:
… Bloody terrifying. After a bumpy and horrible turn round the training track I gave up and told the instructor I wasn’t going any further as I couldn’t steer the thing and nearly killed a cow. I then had to sit on the back of the instructor’s bike which, in front of seven cocky blokes, was really embarrassing. I then spent two hours being driven around the NZ country side being scared s***less by the crazy kiwi driving at top speed spraying through mud, splashing through rivers, zooming up and down hills, over jumps and through scrubland. I have pulled every muscle in my arms, shoulders and neck thus undoing all the hard work of the massage. I came home covered in mud and it was not brilliant.
After returning to boredom / sanity we headed home and didn’t do a lot in the evening. We just played a few games of Rummykub and cards.
