After kayaking around Lake Wanaka in the morning we drove to Queenstown. Perfect weather with cloudless skies, best summers day so far. If you haven’t heard of it, Queenstown is the adventure capitol of New Zealand and where the bungy was invented. No I didn’t do a bungy jump. Basically any adventure sport can be done in the Queenstown area and a main road through town is almost 100% adv sport operators. However the prices here are higher than other places in New Zealand for the same activities, due to it’s amazing setting on a lake surrounded by mountains + popularity.

Of what was on offer I wanted to do something I hadn’t done here yet and picked white water rafting, on the Shotover river (class iii-v rapids). Never been rafting before, but I’ll definitely try and do it again. Being in a raft that’s crashing into rocks and going through serious rapids is a blast. Didn’t capsize or fall in! Unfortunately such activities are not for taking cameras along so I have no photos.

Queenstown itself is full of accommodation, restaurants and bars, it seems like everyone in the town is on holiday there. Spectacular mountain views all throughout town.
