I had a few hours to kill before leaving Auckland for Chicago and decided to visit the Sky Tower which rises 1000 ft. above the city making it the tallest structure in the Southern Hemisphere. The elevator is glass including the floor which made the ride a little unsettling. Then parts of the observation deck floor are glass and it took quite a bit of self-convincing to step on it. Finally, believe it or not you could pay money to bungee jump off of it.
Look closely and you can see the bungee-jumper
I finally made it home. The trip back was shorter and a lot easier than the trip out. All told it was quite an advaenture and I can't believe it's actually over. I would like to take this opportunity to thank some people who made it all possible. Thanks to Michael Corbett and Orion Cruises and Daphne Ibia-Galore of Papua New Guinea Tourism Promotion Authority. Also to Tauck World Discovery and Peter Bissett of Island Escape Cruises. For land accommodations in PNG to Loloata, Jais Aben and Aqua Ventures, and Rabaul Hotel. Small Ship Cruises for sponsoring this blog.

Maybe I am daft, but I think I see TWO bungee jumpers.
There is one bungee jumper suspended between two cables for lateral support.
