Marcey's Dream Zorb

Well, when was the last time I bragged about the free things my amazing legs and stunning personality have gotten me?? OK, so Marcey has wanted to go zorbing and been obsessed with it for AGES!!! so yesterday was the day. Zorbing. So I said I'd go in it with f\her for one, and then she would do the zig zag course once herself. Paid and all suited up, we are "shuttled" up to the top of the hill. We get there and you have to dive into this tiny hole to get into the zorb. I was SO SO SO nervous!!! So scared. So Becasue I'm a pansy, we went to the back of the line because I didn't want a bunch of people to watch me fall of something embarrasing. So the zorb for us arrives (via zorb chair lift) and it's clear, so we were thinking sweet az, but the clear one is the new one and tourism NZ was there yesterday filming for their promo video. So we were filmed in our zorb ride. But not only that... they wanted to do it again, from a different angle. and since it was the clear ball, it had to be the same people because you can see right in. So needless to say, I was zorbed out by the end of the day. 6 zorb rides for the price of opne. Man it's hard being a movie star! I'm ready for my close up now. lol. And then the busses weren't running anymore, so we got a ride into town to our hostel from one of the workers.
And one of the guys working at the zorb place... well, i'm not sure who he took a fancy to, but he invited us out to the bar he's a bouncer at in Rotorua last night. We went. It was the BEST ever!! Such a Regge band was playing. we danced the night away. Now he's taking us to the beach today.

Zorb film stars! Autographs please! Do you get any 8 x 12 glossies from the NZ tourism folks or do you have to settle for all those free zorb rides? Do you get dizzy/sea sick while rolling down the hill?

It could only happen to you two.
Now how do we pick up NZ TV to see your ads?

Oh Anne. You are great, what else can I say? So it sounds like you girls are doing just fine over there since everywhere you go there seems to be boys taking care of you. That settles my heart greatly. lol. I guess that's just what happens to two hot Canadian girls. Ok take care my friend! Luv ya!
