DAY
16

Queenstown and a bonus jet boat ride!

How lovely, a leasurely start to our sunday and Brunch at the Pier pub.

We want to take the Gondolas up to the hilltop, we have been admiring from our balcony.

The brief trip to the summit gave great views of the surrounding area.

There are many view points, Paragliding & bungee jumping opportunites on the slopes.

Ian invested in a trip on the luge , dispite my best efforts only a shot of his back came out.

From our hotel, it is not obvious how big the lake is.

The clear skies allow these awesome vistas.

From our Gondola we witness a nutter, bungee jumping from an assigned platform.

Back in the town, Ian invests in some half hearted shopping, quickly becoming bored, looks like we are jet boating again.

The vast lake allows for much more speed & action.

Our pilot Daniel, made us feel like the first tour of the day with his enthusiasm.

Bravo Thunder Jet Boats..

Ian meets a (not too) distant relative in the Ballerat pub.

Finally a visit to the Taj Indian restaurant.. a cheese , garlic & chilli naan, blew my socks off. Don't think ian has given up yet!

Tomorrow we head towards Milford Sound & more adventure.

Goodnight reader, farewell xxx
