Tuesday morning back in Queenstown from Milford Sound the day before. We have a morning session of bungee booked at Kawarau River bridge.
Also nearby the Lord of the Rings location "Pillars of the Kings". The Kings were digitally rendered but the location is very real.
I jumped once as planned but Kate went back for a second jump. She almost regretted this after feeling rather unwell for the following few hours.
In the afternoon we head up the Ben Lomond Mountain overlooking Queenstown. The gondola ride takes us up steep ascent. The view is incredible and worth the price alone. At the peak is a bunch of activities for active visitors; including luge, downhill mountain biking, ledge bungee, and hang gliding. But we are just here for the Zip Trek Ecotour.
The Zip Trek involves a series of 6 zip lines (flying foxes) zig zagging down the mountain back into Queenstown. The most brag-worthy involving 350m length and 70km/h. Also included in the tour was a lesson on the local environment and a message of sustainability.
