Q Town.

Harnessed in.
Leaving the Aspiring Hut, we drove to Queenstown. Excitement fills the air at this adrenaline junky's paradise. Immediately, we threw ourselves off the first thing that we could. Canyon swinging is like bungy jumping with a twist. We jumped off a ledge but instead of just bouncing, we swung through a canyon, like the name implies. The drop was 60 meters beside a cliff, then a 200 meter swing. We were 109 meters above the river and the views were incredible.
The jumping platform for the Canyon Swing.
The next day we wandered around town, and headed up the hill beside Queenstown. We took a gondola up and at the top there was a luge. It was kind of a kiddy go kart luge, but it got our hearts pumping more than we thought that it would. Being at the top of a hill, I wanted to jump off something else, again. This time it was paragliding.
Not a bad view.
That's me.
