We began our first full day fishing on lake Wakatipu. Dad and I both caught a trout.
Then we went on the shotover jet. Its a speed boat that takes you on this tour through the Shotover River Canyons. It was insane. The boat goes about 60 mph through these narrow canyons. The driver does 360 degree spins that put the boat about 6 in from the rocks. I seriously thought we were going to smash into the canyon walls. Luckily we didn't!
Then we drove to the Kawarau bridge to the first commercial bungy spot in the world. Michael and I jumped together from about 150 feet high. It was sooooo scary, but thrilling.
The next day we went snowboarding. It was pretty fun snowboarding in the middle of August.
After a long day snowboarding we went to spend an hour at the onsen pools. Its this super fancy place where you schedule an hour in a hot tub. The hot tub room has a retractable door that opens up to this beautiful mountain view. It was so fun.
(I know my arms are really long. I have an arm span of 6' and I'm only 5'8'' tall. Michael calls me elasti-girl sometimes)
Queenstown was one of the best parts of the trip. We had a blast with Mom and Dad.
