Those rocks came a bit close.

OMG, words cannot describe the sheer feeling of terror and exhilaration experienced on the jet boat ride this morning. Reaching speeds of above 50km/h and getting so close to the rocks as we zoomed past I must say was just a little bit scared. But what fun were those 360° spins? Ian and I argued over this, I reckoned we did 9 but Ian felt it was nearer a dozen. And yes we got very wet! A video was taken of us and we will download it when it appears on their site. In the meantime some photos taken by the team of us and some that I took when we arrived including the video. It shows just how near to the rocks the boat gets.

I'm the girlie one in the blue hat! Ian is sitting behind me.

Once we had dried off it was into Queenstown to do the Skyline Gondola to Bobs Peak. Parking was a nightmare. We drove round and round for over 45 minutes before we eventually found one space which had parking fees to pay. So we paid the $12 for the afternoon. It was the only way we could get to ride the gondola. Views from the top were fantastic and we even had a spot of lunch overlooking the Luge track. Ian was so impressed with it that he just had to have a go.

To bungee from this height....are they insane!!!!

We have decided against Milford sound. It's another 250km from Queenstown and the days are slipping away fast. Instead, we head for Invercargill and possibly Stewart Island
