Auckland, New Zealand

"Welcome to New Zealand: Adrenaline Junkie Heaven" was written on the greeting billboard in Auckland. Not quite your "Guinness is good for you" in Dublin, but quite catchy all the same. Within about 2 hours of walking around the city I was also completely convinced that this is one of the truest slogans ever written, Auckland must be the only city in the world where:

* You can climb UP the harbour bridge (complete with funky uniforms and tether lines)
* Bungy Jump OFF the harbour bridge
* Climb UP the communication tower (280m up in the sky, the first 240 of which are done in the elevator, the next 40 are done by climbing the service ladder)
* Jump OFF the communication tower
* Be shot INTO the air on a reverse bungy in the middle of a downtown carpark

Absolutely insane. Whereever you look around there are people jumping off things. Lemming heaven.
