Wanaka and Queenstown

Annette kindly lent us her car for the week to explore some more of the South Island and visit Queenstown to do some adventurous stuff!

We started off with a night in Wanaka, and as promised paid a visit to Clarkie's godmother's neice in the restaurant she works in. It's a pretty tenuous link but Bronagh kindly bought us a drink and it was lovely to meet her.

Then onto Queenstown, the outdoor adventure capital of the world. We decided to do the 43m bungy jump off the Kawarau bridge, the first commercial bungy jump. Clarkie loved it, I hated it but at least we've got the t shirt to prove we've done it! We also took a ride on the gondala for amazing views over the town. The following morning we took a jet boat ride on the shotover river, which was a 100 times more enjoyable than the bungy, not sure Clarkie would agree though!

About to do the bungy jump, I wasn't smiling this much afterwards, I think I must have been delirious at this stage!
