Crazy Queenstown!! Love it!























Well I am officially insane........I have just done the most scariest thing ever in my life!!


Yes I did the AJ Hackett Nevis Bungy Jump which is the 3rd largest in the world..crazy!!!!!!


It was 134 metres down a canyon and I was doing a freefall on some silly elastic for 8 seconds!


Oh my god, you should have seen me, I dont think I have been so scared!! I was fully pumped with adrenalin after the event and glad to be alive too!!


I had to buy the DVD as proof so I will look forward to showing you all when Im back home!


Di Thornicroft mentioned how I have changed doing all these activities and how I wouldnt jump over a wall before this trip...so true....just call me GI Jane from now on...ok!


This is what Queenstown is all about....its all extreme sports here and you have to do these things or you havent experienced it at all!

Really love this place, reminds me of a ski resort, its got a good vibe and the scenery is amazing!


In the evening we all went out to celebrate our survival and found a bar that sold cocktails in english teapots!!! Good night out indeed!


Next day I went on the Shotover Jet which is a fast boat that spins 360 degrees at a high speed, it speeds alongside canyons and you get sooo close to the cliff face...so much fun!


Later in the afternoon, decided to take ot a bit easier and took the gondola up the mountains to see Queenstown from above.........love it even more!!


I would have liked to have a go at snowboarding too, but there is 2 problems with that..........first being that my foot is still a bit sore so probably not the best idea and two is that there isnt any snow!! They have a mountain with artificial snow and they have forecast some real stuff over the next few days. The weather has been so sunny but cold....again they say its unusual for this time of year....I just keep bringing the sun with me where ever I go!
