Queenstown


We woke up in Queenstown and headed to the Skyline Gondola.  On the ride we had a spectacular view of the city, mountains, and Lake Wakatipu.  At the top we took in the beauty and went on a fun scenic luge ride.

Afterward, we went for a ride on the Shotover Jet - the world's most famous jet boat operation!  It was SO exciting!!!  Not to mention incredibly beautiful.  At breathtaking speeds, we twisted and turned through narrow canyons, did 360 turns, and sped across the winding river.  We got so close to the sharp rocks and my adrenaline was definitely pumping!
After we calmed down from the jet boat excitement, we went to a remote beach in Bob's Cove.  Here the water rises and falls 15 cm every five mins.
