As if Bungy jumping wasn't enought - we also took a jet boat ride. Pure fun! A native New Zealand invention, tahe jetboat take in water and ejects it from the stern under great pressure to create the propulsion. It needs very little room to maneuver, making it capable of handling twisting channels and 360 degree spins! We flew through the water of Lake Wakatipu, the Kawarau River, and Shotover River (where gold was discovered in the late 1800's) - all with the backdrop of the Remarkables Mountains. Shown are my fellow Bungy jumpers, Ashley and Austin - college students on the trip with their grandmothers.
