Zorbing...

From New Zealand in Rotorua, New Zealand on Apr 28 '07

For all of you guys out there, who have ever ‘Zorbed’ you will know what I am talking about. For all you guys out there who have never heard of it before here is a brief description!

1. It involves a big grassy hill and knoll

2. You are in a big plastic bubble filled with water

3. You fill it with 3 people all wearing appropriate ‘Zorbing Attire’, somewhat similar to what one may wear to play volleyball in

4. You climb into the ‘Zorb’, hope for the best, and start walking against the side to get it moving!

5. Try to unsuccessfully keep standing as the ‘Zorb’ starts to slide down the hill, picking up speed

6. Unable to stand, you ‘flip and turn’ in the ball as it makes it’s way down the hill

7. Reaching the bottom, you disentangle yourself from the others and exit via a small opening in the bottom

Who would have thought?...

Only in New Zealand....
