Queenstown

After lunch at the winery, Lenny and Mike went bungy jumping.  I was surprised to learn that bungy jumping was invented in New Zealand, and this place is the first commercial bungy site in the world:

Ian took us up to a great viewpoint outside of town.


In Queenstown, which is the "extreme sport" capital of New Zealand, we all rode on a jet boat on the Shotover river.  The outfits they give you are not that flattering:

Here we go!

We rode the gondola up from Queenstown to the top of the hill, then climbed back down along a couple of the walking tracks.



On evening in Queenstown, we took a ride on the T.S.S. (Twin Screw Steamer) Earnslaw, a boat that runs on the lake:
