    Queenstown is a nice little mountain town.

    In the middle of the Southern Alps.

    It is also the birthplace of bungee jumping.

    image

    Where someone decided it would be a good idea to jump off of this bridge.

    image

    Into this river.

    image

    With a rope attached to hopefully prevent their dead body from flowing down this valley.

    You can replicate this experiment for the bargain price of $10/second. We decided not to participate.

    It’s a SHARK BOAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    image

    It jumps!

    image

    It rolls onto it’s side.

    image

    It dives under water.

    image

    It’s 1/4 of the speed of  a speeding bullet.

    image

    And it’s $10/minute!

    image

    Which is actually a relatively slow way to spend money in Queenstown. (Bungee jumping is $10/second).
