What to do in Queenstown

Yesterday we went on the Skippers Canyon trip. If you are afraid of heights, don't go unless you are prepared to have sweaty palms and a freak out now and again. The 4 wheel drive gets very close to the edge. The area is all mica which is very soft and breaks off easily with your hands - so think of the weight of the car on the road. You just have to have faith that you are going to be safe in the hands of your driver who does this three times a day. 

Then on to the river boat ride, wow, the beauty and the speed to the special boat that takes you down the tight canyon waterways. If you are nervous about water or tight places you might find this little trip rather challenging. It was great. I got very wet sitting in the back seat of the boat. The day was glorious and the water on my face was cool and refreshing. I would not like it if the day was cold and cloudy but I could not have had a better day out. Loved it - all of it!

Pictures to follow when I get back home.
