Queenstown and a bungee jump

This is Queentown. I spent last weekend there. The wifi connection was rubbish so I couldn't do a blog from there. Ironic, since it's full of backpackers, miserably hanging around the adventure centre, lining up to do their bungee jump...

I opted for the jetboating and realised that I have late onset thrill seeking. It just wasn't exciting enough. It was fine, bumping over the water, but I wouldn have liked something a bit more death-defying. But not a bungee jump.

Scenery in Queenstown is breathtaking, but the place is a bit fake. The town has no soul, probably due to the transient nature of its population. I don't think I met a kiwi the whole time I was there. Still, it was nice to visit.

I'll be doing the luge the next time.
