Dare #1 - Completed - Nose Pick @ Sky Tower

Modified: Mar 6, 2020 · Published: Dec 12, 2007 by Dave Lee |

#1 - From Justin: I would come up with a sweet dare for you, except that, like you are soon to feel, my bank account has been poured into a not-too-narrow funnel. But if you pick your nose in front of the Sky Tower, I'll buy you a beer.

Reward: a tasty beer in New Zealand

____________________________________

I'll see you in a few days to collect on this one! :)

    Somehow this doesn't seem worthy of a Beer? :smile:

    maybe we should combine the Abseils & Sky tower... now that would be Beer Worth...

    So you've had a chance to settle into the "non-routine"? what are your plans for NZ... are you just winging it?

    Cheers,
    -Skip

      When I signed up for the backpacker bus tour, I basically picked an itinerary which I'll write a post about (now). Lots of fun stuff!
