Puzzling world is an interesting place, lots of illusions, hollograms, and special effects etc. Was good fun.
Sam wasn't so sure about the commiunal toilets
Our brekky stop for the morning was the historic Cardrona hotel. The local lager was very good.
And then it was on to the brilliant Crown range. This road was so much fun I had a couple of runs on it, leaving Sam at the top to take pics of the scenery.
It was fantastic fun.
We called into the pretty village of arrowtown for a coffee, then took a back road to Queenstown, but made a slight diversion up the newly reasealed Coronet Peak Ski field road. I have previously been up this road when it has been covered in snow and that was a spincter tightening experience but probably not as frightening as the ride these guys got.. The veiws from the top were brilliant.
Look cloely in the pic below, this car rolled down about 100ft
We came across a pair of german couples sunning themselves in the brilliant sunshine, The dear old biddy in the pink top actually was topless, but soon covered up when she saw us coming. She laughed when I asked if she would take it off again for a piccy.
We also had a bit of a look around the skifields scrapyard. I reckon I could get this thing going again.
Queenstown is full of beautiful young things all prancing about the place looking good.
Sam thought I was taking this pic of her. She has no sense of humour sometimes and I got a clip across the ears for my trouble.
I felt like a right dodo
To make up for it I bought her a ticket for the shotover canyon swing. She thought this was it.
What it actually is a 70ft freefall followed by a huge arcing swing across the Skippers canyon reaching 150klm/h.
The toilets were a popular place with the girls all needing nervouos wee's
Then strapped into a harness before dropping off the ledge. The video of sam's jump is hilarious, her scream could be heard for miles. Will post the vid when we get home.
Several different optiona are available for your jump. This position is called gimp boy goes to hollywood.
Sam backed up for a second go on the chair of death.
The vids are pretty funny.
And these girls let me take a pic of their undies.
Then it was back into town to check out some of the sights.
The TSS Eearnshaw a beautiful old steam ship that does cruises on the lake.
Tomorrow is shaping up as being action packed as well....stay tuned ya'll
