Zorbing at OGO Rotorua, North Island, New Zealand (January, 2015)

The first thing we wanted to do in Rotorua was Zorbing. Basically, they put you in a hollowed out giant plastic bubble and roll you down a hill.  They fill it partially with water first so that you slide around in the bottom of the zorb instead of tumbling head over heels inside of it.  We each got to take 2-3 runs down the hill on different courses and Cody and Rick tried the dry/harnessed zorb where you are strapped in and go tumbling head over heels down the hill.  This was a very fun experience for all of the kids as well as the adults.
