Seeking thrills in Queenstown


A parasailer over Lake Wakatipu



A New Zealand Moa
(became extinct 200 years ago)


I think its a size too big.


Saddling up for the Shotover Jetboat ride


The Shotover Jet
The ride goes up and down the Shotover River
through a narrow canyon complete with exciting 360-degree turns



A trip to Arrowtown to pan for gold


Marty struck gold...the Frodo action figure!

 
The Chard Farm Winery
(This place better be good...we only
braved precipitous cliffs to get there)


The Chard Farm Vineyards


Tasting wine at Chard Farm
We went with the Chardonnay,
even though they're known for their pinots



The view from the precipitous cliffs



Stopped by the first bungy jump
AJ Hackett's Bungy Jumping


A young bungy jumper


The Pub Charity Rugby Sevens Tournament
Waikato took home the victory within the last 15 seconds -
the score was tied and they ran the ball down the field to score a try.


Celebrating Mattie & Marty's
birthday with ice cream bars
