Adventure Capital

Finally, we landed in a town with some Saturday markets on a Saturday! We visited the two markets in town, the sun blazing and the wind howling, the combination giving a crisp blue lake with exciting waves.

We both did the Shotover Jet, the famous jet boat as I discovered with more research. This is probably the one to do for a thrill. It was much better than Hukafalls jet. It flew through Shotover Canyon cutting close to the canyon walls.


We ended the day with a Gondola ride up the mountain for some magnificent views. The AJ Hackett bungy jump was there. I think this was the first one, but other than for historical reasons, it looked like the Nevus jumps and swings would have been much better. We did a luge ride, like the one Edwin and I did in Sentosa in Singapore. It was pretty fun.

 For dinner, we succumbed to $5 lamb shanks from the Alpine Supermarket.
