🇳🇿 Queenstown Day 6 | Adventure Log

🚤 Morning: Shotover Jet - The Most Intense 20 Minutes of My Life Thought my glasses would help me enjoy the views? Joke's on me—they flew off within seconds, leaving me squinting through wind-whipped tears. How it went down: 1️⃣ Checked in at the Shotover Jet store, then waited for the shuttle bus (10-min ride to the canyon). 2️⃣ At the dock: signed waivers, grabbed life jackets, and stashed bags in shared lockers (locked during the ride). 3️⃣ The ride: Two canyon runs with heart-stopping 360° spins (driver signals before each turn—HOLD ON!). Photo stop? More like a "are-my-fingers-still-attached?" check. Winter warning: Zip up ALL THE WAY (unzipped collars = wind-powered face slaps). Hats = mandatory (unless you enjoy ice-cream headaches). Glasses? Pocket them—unless you want to donate them to the river gods. 🚠 Afternoon: Skyline Gondola & Luge - Freezing but Worth It Bought tickets on-site at 3 PM (fun fact: WeChat Pay had better exchange rates than cards!). Luge breakdown: 📍1st run: Getting the hang of it. 📍2nd run: Full speed → crashed into barrier pads on a sharp turn. 📍3rd run: Evil Knievel mode with screaming strangers chasing me. Reality check: 📍Luge itself = warm adrenaline rush. 📍Ride back up = Arctic expedition (dress like you’re climbing Everest). #Queenstown #NZAdventures #ShotoverJet #LugeLife #TravelDiaries
