Taupo, New Zealand

In a pleasant little town alongside the “bigger-than-Singapore” Lake Taupo, over the top activities took place; horse trekking, sky diving, kayaking, hiking. Non-stop.

I hadn’t been on horseback for a while, so I thought I would do some light ride with other inexperienced tourists. It turned out everybody in our group were seasoned riders. (How did that happen?) Immediate canter ensued. I went along. I might have looked idiotic, though, without any "horse-riding muscles" left with me to put myself together. My legs certainly felt idiotic afterwards.

Skydiving wasn’t scary but felt very weird. A sense of falling disappears right after the jump. Probably because 12000ft is too high to notice any change in scale of things on land. Then the parachute opens, and everything becomes incredibly quiet.
