First off I'd booked to experience a jetboat ride! These board were originally designed to work on new Zealand's shallow rivers and can operate in only 4 inches of water!
The shot over jet travels 7km down some pretty extreme canyons and takes you within touching distance of the canyon walls at a frightening speed! Great fun!
This afternoon I travelled on a scenic safari north of queenstown along the lake and up towards an past the tiny town of glenorchy. Lots of The Lord of the rings movies were shot here and the scenery was spectacular!
I am writing this while slashing out in a cocktail and buffet dinner at the top of the gondola with spectacular views down over the lake and queenstown. The steam ferry (plying the lake for 100 years!) has just pulled in down below. What a great view!!!
Location:Beach Street,Queenstown,New Zealand
Love queenstown! In other exciting news, it's my last Monday at work thanks to some well placed holiday! This time in 3 weeks my trip starts!! Enjoy Milford! And doubtful!
