New Zealand - Wanaka & Queenstown

May 23 - 24, 2003 (Wanaka & Queenstown, New Zealand)
Wanaka, on the shores of Lake Wanaka and Queenstown, on the shores of Lake Wakatipu are both high energy towns. Queenstown is the self-proclaimed High Adrenaline Adventure Capital of the World. You can find just about any adventure activity out here. We tried the Alpine Luge which was lots of fun and I went on the Parabungy, a combination of parasailing and bungy jumping. Awesome!

Hmmm...what sounded like a good idea to begin with maybe wasn't such a great idea after all. We must've taken a wrong turn somewhere.

After arriving at the top, we take the chairlift up to get in some luging runs!

Ken whizzing by on his luge. Howard sped by so fast in the "race" where the cameras could not keep up.

Paragliders floating around. I would've loved to do this if we had more time.
