Jet Boating in Queenstown

Yesterday we went into town and hung out.  We shopped for a while, and I saw a bear that I really wanted.  It was made of greenstone and it had a fish in it's mouth.  It is 3cm long and 1cm tall. 

After we went jet boating.  There were lots of waves from the wind.  We drove out into lake Wakatipu.  We have a view from our hotel window.  Then we went off little waves and got lots of air.  

The name of the boat is Thunder Jets, and it went really fast and the driver cranked the music up really high, he was playing ACDC, Guns 'n' Roses, and Green Day.  It felt like we were going to hit rocks and sticks but, we missed them by inches.  We went on the boat for 1 hour straight!  The driver spun the boat around 360 degrees and I got sprayed in the face and got soaked!  The  jet boat could go in 6 inches of water because it pumped water through the engines.  It had no rudder. When the driver turned the steering wheel, the jets would move back and forth.  It was one of the most fun things we did in New Zealand.

Later skater.
