I need a holiday to get over this holiday........(North Isle Activities, NZ)

For those of you who know that my preferred 'exercise' on a Friday night is lifting a glass of wine whilst ploughing through some Pringles, you'll be flabbergasted to know that in a 5 day period, I did the following:
4km of hiking
2 hours of horse riding - across mountains and valleys, even a bit of a gallop and cantor. The views were fabulous.
100m abseil into a cave - with a 1.5hr hike out of it.
3 hours of skiing - the conclusion being that I'm not a natural skier although I did enjoy my lesson.

It felt as if every muscle in my body ached by the end and after a long Saturday night, even my eyelid muscles were aching! But I have noticed that I now have a tiny bit of definition to my arms. Weyhey! Action woman strikes again but I do think I need to slow the pace down a bit before I hit my China tour.
Message to brother.....I don't think there are many more activities left now that I want to do where I need to name you as next of kin, but will reserve judgement as I think that China as a country may be classified as a dangerous sport in itself.
