    I don't know if I should classify this as a sports tip or as plain madness. But there really are people who jump down from the Skytower.

    Unlike normal Bungy Jumping however it is no free fall because the jumper is fixed between to steal cables. This way banging against the tower is avoided. But I guess the surge of adrenalin is the same.

    Sports Travel: Sailing
  • Tip Rating:
  • Theme: Boating/Sailing

    As Aucklands nickname "City of Sails" already indicates, many many of its inhabitants regularily enjoy sailing. You'll find a lot of marinas and boat harbours all over the city. One of the most centrally located is Viaduct Harbour.

    Directions: Only a few steps west of the Ferry Terminal at the northwestern end of the business district.

     Hi Bernd, it was great to see you again at the VT meeting in Frankfurt last Saturday. Say hello to Andrea for me. --- Interesting tips on the "City of Sails". I didn't realize such a large percentage of the NZ population lives there.
