Queenstown jetboating! Arrowtown and Bungy jumping!

No mom, I didn't do it again! Kyle wanted to but the bank account was a little low! spent it on the jet boat.
Oh the memories! This the original AJ Hacket site and where I did my jump 17 years ago!

TheKawarua River! isn't it gorgeous, love the colours
Arrowntown is a nice little cute gold town- The Arrow River is said to have been one of the riches sources of alluvial gold in the world. we toured the museum here and the kids even tried to pan for some gold. no luck!
yep we found the sweet shop!

Maya ! did you strike it rich?!
School time for the kids, in the old school house of Arrowtown
What a blast! We had fun , can you tell. they did 360* spins, through the gorge , getting real close! thought we'd hit a few times. Steve and Kyle were up in front and Steve talked the guys ear off with questions ect. even got the driver to go faster! Maya got soaked in the back!! this was well worth the money, we spent about 40-45 minutes on the Shotover river up and down , through the gorge.


Little trivia for ya, the Shotover River was the second largest gold producing river in the world per km yeilding 12oz of gold per yard of gravel. do you know what the largest one was? Right in our back yard...... I'll let you figure it out.
The famous Moa- this bird was here in NZ, now extinct- bummer
TSS Earnslaw built in 1906 was originally used to transport sheep and cattle across the lake, now it does tours on lake Wakatipu- by the way this lake rises and falls up 12 cm every 5 minuteshanging out in Queenstown !
