On one of the last days we had in Queenstown we jumped on a bus that took us around the 13th most dangerous road in the world. It was freaky sitting in this bus at times when it felt like if the driver didn't pay attention for one second, we would go over the cliff and fall down the high mountains we were driving through.
But the driver kept us calm with a guided tour all through the journey until we arrived to the Shotover river where we would be sat in a shotover jet boat for 30 mins, going through narrow canyons in like 85 km/hour.
It was such a thrill! Almost like the banana boat ride in a way because it felt like we would drive straight in to a rock any second, I felt as if I was gonna fall off if I didn't hold on really tight and water was splashing up in my face during the whole ride. But oh.m.g - it was so much fun! I don't think 30 mins have gone so quickly before.
The driver of the jet boat stopped a few times, one of those times he stopped here and said that this is the location of a Lord of the Ring scene - can you see which one?
Not only was it a super exciting boat ride, but we also got to see such beatiful scenery along the way. And when we came back to the shore, this little cutie came running down the boat ❤️
On our last night in Queenstown we watched the sunset from one of the bars by the harbour. It was such a gorgeous moment, with street musicians around, happy people and Josh (Scotts and Guys friend from the UK) also joined us this lovely last night we all had together.
As a perfect ending of our stay here down south, we ended up at the amazing Indian restaurant Bombay Palace. The waitress that helped us with the orders is probably the best waitress I've ever met! She was so friendly and helpful, especially with helping us getting vegan food and making sure that we got exactly what we wanted.
