Wet and Wild!

Wednesday, January 18, 2012

What has 500 hp, goes up to 85 km/hr, carries 14 people, and is one of the most popular attractions in Queenstown, NZ?  It's the Shotover River Jet Boat ride!  More than 3 million people will attest to it and today we joined them.  You can see what it's like in the video, so we'll let the movie tell the story:

Suffice it to say, it was an exciting ride.  Sandra says it was more thrilling than a bungy jump because it lasted 25 minutes.  We came away with wet hair and some new ideas for making the ride to our cabin in Alaska a little more thrilling.
