Hey Rachel,
Well i was working on my essay yd, really hard, haha.. and when i had 200 words, it was time to go.. me,david and ingo were gonna go night canyoning in piha! So i decided to worry about the essay later.. (still worrying but now i only need about 400 more words, and not 1200:P)
anyway, we went out there, took us about an hour, and we got wetsuits and stuff that we put on and headed up through the forrest and stuff, we had a short safety briefing, practised how to abseil, with stopping and moving and all that. I've never Abseiled before so that was an experience, down through the waterfall, at one point it was almost impossible to breath because of all the water, but i loved it.
This is what i abseiled down...
And then we made our way further down the stream, meet an eel and saw glow worms, so we stopped at a bank there and had some juice and some chocolate, wow it was amazing. We kept moving down, and went through some narrow places, and we went into this cave part and saw Veta (?) up close, they were not as much like spiders as i thought they would, quite amusing really.. oh and we jumped, haha. it was dead scary but incredibly fun once u'd left the rock haha. i regret not doing the big jump the first time now (i went for the lower one) 
I don't have any pictures of me jumping, but David and Ingo should have, so once they send me their pics i'll upload them to here..(meaning there will be a few more pictures eventually:D well i only need ingo's pictures.)
Anyway, suddenly we were down, and it was over, it felt like we'd only just started, our hands were numb and we were all still buzzing with excitement as we went back to the car, after changing into dry clothes we headed off for a quick stroll on piha beach, had a beer and celebrated an awesome evening.
It was awful coming home to the essay waiting for me. And well i know my essay wont be amazing, because i have no clue what i am writing about, but i think it'll give me a pass at least:D *fingers crossed* but i don't regret choosing the canyoning over the essay. NEVER! i wanna go again:D
