Today we are in Murchison that is on the Buller river. The Buller is a nice and fast river, lots of water especially after it rained all night.
In the morning we went to attraction number 1 here: The longest swingbridge in New Zealand - 160 meters long. And to come back you don't have to cross it again (not that it's was in anyway scary after all I did so far), but you can fly back on omega! In fact it wasn't scary either, I was a bit disappointed, but it was fun.
In the afternoon we went rafting!!! Erez raised the idea and I said ok, but I was scared to death... and when we got on the boat and got all the explanations I got even more scared. The river was high and fast and our major rapid was grade 4!! That was scary but AWESOME!!! (If I use too many "!!!" it's only because everyhting here really deserves the "!!!"... especially surving a grade 4 rapid and not falling from the boat...)
After that rapid I felt really caregous, so when we stopped somewhere and were invited to climb the rocks and jump from 7m to
Rafting
I'm in the back near the guide...the river, I did that too. In fact it was scary to swim in the river, more than the jump itself, but all in all everything was FUN.
Did I mention that my vacation here is great????
