    That was probably the most entertaining thing I’ve seen all week! I’m so happy to see these New Zealand videos because, honestly, it was never on my travel-list until I saw these vids.

    Haha that looks really fun! I’ve been following your blog for a while (found it on gobackpacking) and i’m really glad to see some more on-location type things, rather than just recaps after the day’s over type stuff.

    @Lee – If I’m not mistaken they actually have one in the states.

  13. admin January 14, 2010 at 10:11 pm #

    @ Matt – I just ask around. It’s a staple of Rotorua. As for the traveling together…I’ve still got 11 months to go…..

  14. admin January 14, 2010 at 10:11 pm #

    @Sam – Yes. Yes I did.

    @Shelly – Thanks Shelly & Dennis. Glad I could provide some laughter for the day. I’ll keep it coming.

  17. admin January 14, 2010 at 10:13 pm #

    Yes. New Zealand is beautiful. Quite similar to Canada, but top notch if you want a relaxing trip.

  18. admin January 14, 2010 at 10:15 pm #

    @Darcy – Excellent feedback Darcy. I’ll definitely keep that in mind when editing future posts.

    brock! thats crazy. some of my classmates and i were doing a project on bringing new attractions into a small ski hill near Trenton/Belleville area, called Batawa. We had actually looked into Zorb-ing.. :)

  24. admin January 18, 2010 at 1:01 pm #

  25. admin January 18, 2010 at 1:08 pm #

  30. admin January 22, 2010 at 6:30 pm #

    @Emily – Ya, thats the one thing with traveling solo, you have to convince people to do that sort of stuff for you.

  31. mindy January 24, 2010 at 8:03 am #

    That looks sooo awesomely cool!!!!! I wish we could hear your screaming from inside that ball hahaha

  32. Stephen January 25, 2010 at 5:14 am #

    Ah ha! Zorbing … so they still have it. I don’t think my ’80′s hair would have survived that, nevermind getting all of them in.

  33. Lindsay January 25, 2010 at 10:29 am #

    BROCK! I wanted to do this so bad when I was in Switzerland … you are way braver than me! Looks like you are having the most amazing time! :)

  34. admin January 25, 2010 at 2:42 pm #

    @Mindy – I am somewhat glad you can’t hear my screaming from inside the ball.

  35. admin January 25, 2010 at 3:01 pm #

    @Stephen – That’s gold.

  36. admin January 25, 2010 at 3:02 pm #

    Glad you had fun ZORB globe riding Brock! Awesome video!

    Just some additional info for those who were wondering about ZORB sites in the US, Brock was right – we do have one. It’s the only ZORB site in the US…ZORB Smoky Mountains, located in TN.

    Happy travels Brock…hope you enjoyed the rest of NZ!

  40. Brock February 27, 2010 at 11:50 am #

    @ZORBguru – Thanks for following up. I had a fantastic time and have recommended it to every traveler I have met heading to Rotorua. I knew there was one in the Us. Thanks again!

  42. Brock September 13, 2011 at 4:55 pm #

    @Audrey – I thought that twang would be a nice touch, glad you like it. Totally a must do when in Rotorua.

  43. Kristen March 16, 2012 at 1:08 pm #
