“I visited the Waitomo Caves and saw the glowworms. I skied down Mount Ruapehu. I skied at Queenstown and all of the ski locations there. I skied at Mount Hutt. I took a helicopter out to White Island. I took a helicopter to the Milford Sound.” – Richard Armitage

I wonder if he tried bungi jumping as well :). (Jed Brophy’s just made a barrel ride with a difference ..lol … and sent out a challenge for his fellow dwarves to do the same https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=706555072690096&set=a.517157551629850.134143.517155004963438&type=1). Lovely photos, BTW.

Thank you. The places he mentioned were just so amazing. Almost every picture I came across was strikingly beautiful!
And yes, I follow Jed on Twitter, so I indeed saw the Barrel bungee jump and commented there. It looks nuts, but certainly fun…and I will leave that to the professionals and related thrill-seekers myself. :)
There is a recent interview where Richard mentions that Luke Evans was going sky diving and had asked him if he’d go. According to Richard, the answer was an emphatic No!, in the interview. (And the exact interview I can’t recall at the moment.)
So perhaps that might be an indication as to where Richard draws the line as far as thrill-seeking goes…maybe.
