January 30th, Queenstown NZ
















The adventure capital of the world did not disappoint! In Queenstown you can basically do anything as long as you sign your life away. I (Curt) was sitting in a cafe on the pier of the lake and could see these things happening all within eyesight: luge rides, paraflite rides, bungy jumping from cliffs on the mountainside, bungy jumping from planes, skydiving, paragliding, jet boat rides, heli mountain biking?, heli bungy, tandem paragliding, water sports, and the list continues. Many of the more extreme activities are taking place in the mountains around the town.... you can't see them, but you can feel them. All of this "fun" is simply geared to give people the thrill of their life!!! If you want to scare, thrill, create fear in, or simply wet yourself, Queenstown is the place! The kids managed Luge Rides and Paraflites, and Lisa & Curt Tandem Bungy Jumped. Since Maddy had already bungeed from the "highest bungy" on the North Island she opted to take photos of L&Cs jump. We stayed at a beautiful little christian camp just outside town and met some wonderful people. Caroline and Ingo camped next to us and we ended up friends and had a beautiful breakfast one morning. We also met Ariel and Ner from Israel who made our stay very enjoyable. Thank you to our new friends!
