Riding the Big Balls
Until yesterday zorbing was a complete unknown. Our first thought was that it must be might to do with folk dancing - the sort of thing Zorba the Greek was into. Apparently not. Zorbing is when you get inside a big plastic ball (zorb) and roll very fast down hill, trying not to damage yourself into the process. Kiwis are actually startlingly good at thinking up new ways to scare ourselves and the rest of the world...thinking bungy jumping here and think about the truckloads of expeditions following in bold Sir Ed's (as the the late great Sir Edmund Hilary is universally known hereabouts) trailblazing footsteps to the peak of Mount Everest and back.
Eat your heart out Wales!
There we were thinking that with 58 characters, I think - got lost at the third "go" in the "gogogoch" - aka "The church of St. Mary in the hollow of white hazel trees near the rapid whirlpool by St. Tysilio's of the red cave", was the longest placename in the world. Imagine our surprise to discover that New Zealand actually has one longer!
