The whole thing was a big mystery. The entire bar shut down for the day so we could party. It all started at 2, when we filed onto a chartered bus and drove to the first secret destination.
 |
| Party Bus! |
I had my guesses, I thought we might be going to BBQ somewhere, or picnic... I was so wrong.
The first stop was at Rapids Jet, http://www.rapidsjet.com/
 |
| I'm so stoked!!!!! |
So awesome!
 |
| Me and Helena |
We all got on the jet boat, and ripped down the Waikato River,
 |
| All set for some jet boating excitement |
It was all spins and jumps off the rapids. I swear I almost flew outta the boat.
Everyone was completely soaked at the end and my cheeks hurt from laughing so much. It was so fun!
 |
| The other boat jumping the rapids |
I wish I had more photos but I needed both hands to hold onto the safety bar for the majority of the time. :)
We had time for some more beers, to counteract all our adrenaline, before it was back onto the bus and onto the next surprise.
 |
| We need refills! |
My expectations had already been blown away. I was so happy I got to do the jet boat ride while I was in Taupo.
So when our bus pulled into the Taupo Bungy parking lot, the whole lot of us started cheering!
 |
| The Bungy platform over Waikato River |
We all got to do the Bungy swing, so much fun! http://www.taupobungy.co.nz/activities/cliff-hanger
We walked in pairs out onto a platform high above the Waikato river.

| My swing partner, Helena!, and I getting photo bombed by T.I. |
 |
| Me, leaning over the platform, with the cliffs and river behind me |
Then we got strapped into harnesses,
 |
| Jade and Courtney all strapped in |
then strapped together (tandem swing) then connected to what is basically a Bungy/zip line/swing hybrid. Then we hung out past the platform.
 |
| Cam and Tess |
 |
| T.I. and Nicky about to take the plunge |
And off we went.
 |
| Super butterfly tummy! |
It was siiiiiiiiick!
I screamed, a little, lol
 |
| The tiny blob in the bottom/middle of the pic are people on the swing |
Next stop was the last of the night.
We got dropped off at the local motorcycle club for a private BBQ and open bar.
 |
| The patio of the Lake Taupo Riders club |
 |
| Grubbing down, Everyman for themself! |
 |
| Brenda, the owner, on the left. Such an awesome boss! |
 |
| Hamming it up |
We all grubbed on burgers and then got down to the serious business of drinking.
 |
| Let the drinking games commence |
Drinking games galore. These games are not for the faint of heart.
 |
| This game involved wearing a box on your head, bwahahaha |
I don't even know why they call them games, it should just be called Drink Everything, NOW.
 |
| Thumb on the table, Box Head! |
I had a great time. And took lots of pictures until my camera battery died.
 |
| Showing some drunk love |
Which is probably for the best since by the end of the night, there was crazy dancing, and throwing people onto the pool table, and all sorts of shenanigans.
 |
| Linda's boys taught me how to do some Maori weaving with flax leaves |
 |
| I'm so proud of my woven flowers |
I had so much fun! I felt really, really fortunate to be able to do all these awesome things with such fun people.
 |
| The beginning of the end, commence countdown to ridiculousness |
