Queenstown - and Eddie the Eagle!

No doubt about it, Queenstown certainly lives up to it’s reputation of the most picturesque  town in NZ,  situated on the shore of the beautiful Lake Wakatipu, and completely nestled beneath the rugged peaks of the Remarkables, a stunning alpine range.

We did all the “normal” things here; a trip across the lake in TSS  Earnshaw ( a century old steamship); a trip up the Skyline Gondola to admire the views over town, lake & mountains;  and of course a local wine tasting tour.

BUT, besides showing off how pretty it is, Queenstown is also famous for it’s action-packed adventure opportunities – you can do anything from bungy jumping, skydiving, paragliding, jet boating, white water rafting, kayak rapids, canyoning, river-surfing. Anything, in fact that involves adrenaline and scaring yourself to death!

This is the local bungee jumping bridge!

But the bungee did'int appeal..............so, Rick decided he'd try a spot of Paragliding this morning!!!!

Absolutly loved it. Has now booked up another adventure for Sunday.
