Geraldine/ Rangitata - rafting!! The best place to go rafting in New Zealand should be the Rangitata river, the only place with grade 5 rapids (grade 6 is non-raftable).
From Geraldine it was a 30 minute-drive to the office. There we got lunch, instruction and equipment and then drove up to the river.
We were with a group of 49 people, so 7 rafts. After practicing the commands at 2 and 3 grade rapids, we went for the big guys. The tsunami, helicopter and hell's gate were three heavy rides!
At the end we could swim around and take a 10 meter-jump. we already practiced at the canyoning so we jumped without hesitation. ; ) A nice day out!!
After a bbq arranged by the raft company we drove up to christchurch to catch a rugby match.
We chose travelblog as our diary for our travels.
because we found many useful information from other travelers on this site.
we will use our blog for both purposes; informing our friends and family about our 6 months trip (feb - Aug) mostly written in Dutch and try to give some summary in english
We both did some traveling from interrailing through Europe and internships abroad (Peru/ US)
After some holidays we could not resist seeing more of this world and decided to take a half year off work.
