has been eager to go quad-biking
since
we came to NZ. This was the day we had the
opportunity to do that, so we boys went to a
place where there was a center for adventuring
like bungy-jump, jet-boating, quad-biking and
cart-driving.
Update:
We took an trip to the Hanmer Spring adventure place, a river canyon with the road going over on a very narrow bridge. After registration at the desk we waited half an hour before our guide came, he told us that we where not allowed to drive faster than him, but that was not a problem he went very fast and the track was dusty, so dusty so I who didn't have any sunglasses had to top once in awhile to rub out the dust from my eyes.
We drove at first down to the river Waiau, as all the rivers this time of year it was just a wide stream of rocks, and passed some small river branches. The water was just half a meter deep so with some speed we made cascades of water when crossing. It was dirty and fun and we learned how to get up in speed so the return went a lot faster.
