Ruby Tuesday, Tauranga, Travel - New Zealand

Ruby Tuesday

Here is my choice for this week’s Ruby Tuesday – White water rafting on the Wairoa River, Tauranga, Bay of Plenty, New Zealand.  According to a tourism website “Open just 28 days a year, the Wairoa River is one of New Zealand’s most exciting rivers for rafting or kayaking. The rapids start with simple grade two cascades and gradually build up to thundering grade five rapids.”

If you look closely, there I am tucked down towards the front of the raft on the left … thankfully I wasn’t the one that was thrown out of the raft and who is at the back of the raft clinging on for dear life!  It was a major rush doing this trip, but not one I’m keen to repeat again in a hurry – especially going over the waterfall!!!!!  In hindsight, perhaps not the perfect idea to try a grade 5 river on your first trip 😮

Blue Monday, Ruby Tuesday, Scenic Sunday

Blue Monday

Little did I know there was a “Blue Monday” weekly meme out there in blogland!  Resistance is futile … how could I possibly neglect to join in??  So, along with the weekly Photo Hunt, I’ll probably also be contributing to “Blue Monday” 🙂

Then of course there is “Scenic Sunday” – gotta join that one too, right?

Scenic Sunday

Then if I feel really keen I could also join in with “ABC Wednesday” or “Ruby Tuesday” (or Wednesday/Thursday) … oh decisions, decisions … so many fun memes, so little time 😛

If nothing else, it means I’ll have more regular posts coming up!
