Viv and Richard Frost were over the moon about winning a trip to Kenya - until they found out it would cost them $6000 to get there.
The West Auckland couple won one of four prizes through a radio promotion in which Intrepid Travel was "giving away $20,000 worth of trips around the world".
The competition ran on The Edge and involved listeners getting clues on twitter.com to find globes hidden around Auckland.
Mrs Frost found a globe at the top of the Sky Tower but had to do a SkyJump to find out where she was going.
"I was nervous but excited, there was all the adrenalin. I did the SkyJump and they gave me the globe and said 'where are you going?' It said to Kenya.
