Day 2/Massive Cultural Experience

We had a early wake up call, breakfast at 730, which was followed by a really boring program session, but the fun stuff came later.


In the late morning we went to the World famous live sheep show at the agrodome and practically every nationality was in the crowd. Here there was cow milking, lamb feeding, sheep shearing, sheepdog demonstrations, where the dogs would bark at the sheep to move and since they couldn't they jumped all over their backs( if you look at the pics it will make sense).










In the afternoon we went zorbing, which is rolling down a long hill in a plastic ball filled with water! After that we came back to the hostel and learned the "haka" a traditional maori(natives) war dance.










At night for dinner, we went to the Tamaki Village where some maori's live. This included a "hangi" meal, which is a meal cooked underground and in the soil, which was really good. I got some pictures the guy we loved, he looked like a model. :-)
