Kim: I saw a Zorb!


I have been given strict instructions by Kim to keep my eyes peeled while here in New Zealand for something called the Zorb, which is essentially a large plastic ball that you climb into and then roll down a big hill. Apparently New Zealanders are really into this type of thing, which is called "zorbing." Low and behold, between the sheep heards at the Agrodome, we saw one. Unfortunately, Kim, I am sad to report that I did not "go for a spin" in it. Because of the wind conditions, they would only let you do a "wet roll", which meant they put water in the center of the ball with you. Given that it's about 32 degrees here, I decided this was not for me. These pictures are of someone a bit more adventurous. -- Kelly
