Day ?. Milford Sound

This is a very classic shot of what Milford Sound is like

I have lost track of my days... Yesterday we took a little plane over to Milford Sound. It was a bit of a splurge, but the alternative is to take a 6 hour bus ride both ways, and that was not going to happen. Milford Sound is worth it, and it turns out the plane ride is half the fun. We got amazing shots of New Zealand's tallest mountains (Mt. Cook, Mt. Aspiring, etc), check them out on Flickr. Today we ventured back into the eXtreme sporting and did the Shotover Jetboat. I seriously cannont believe that is legal. There is NO WAY that would be legal in the US. Maybe it was because Dave and I made the mistake of sitting in the two front seats, but that was the scariest thing I have ever done. The driver would not only drive close to the rocks, but he would swerve the boat into the rock at the last second, and then swerve it back out of the way and barely miss crashing into it. We must have been within inches of the rocks. The jetboats are not for the faint-hearted. After that we decided we needed to get some exercise. The eXtreme sporting is more about getting the crap scared out of you than actually breaking a sweat, so we decided to walk a trail out around the city. I took some photos, but cant seem to find the usb cable.... will post later. Tonight we rest up and watch the episode of Lost we downloaded from iTunes, and tomorrow is our last night in Queenstown so that will be our big night here.
