Jo's Travels

I had been pre warned about Queenstown, that I'd love it, and how true. The Remarkables were named that for a reason, still plenty of snow on their tops, not enough for skiing but aparently there's the extreme skiiers that are still up there getting helicoptered in for a few short runs. Well took advantage of this adventure capital with a luge ride down the mountain, followed by the Shot Over jet on the Kawarau River, a helicopter flight to the top of the river and white water rafting back down it. Our raft fortunately didn't top over which I was happy about but I was the only one that fell out however I still had a strong hold on the boat and managed to fling myself back in. Queenstown is just magnificent, its very trendy and full of cafe's and bars and shop after shop of adventure booking companies. My only regret is not doing the bungy.
