Sunshine! Hooray! Let’s drive back up the Cardrona Valley to see the view we missed out on yesterday! It was worth the climb. Back in Queenstown we sat in Vudu Café to work out how much money to blow on adrenaline trips. We booked hang-gliding for tomorrow and took a speedy trip up the Shotover River on a jetboat that performed 360 degree spins and dodged the canyon walls. This very professional operation presented us with a short video, photos and postcards of us in action as soon as we climbed back on dry land. It was fun, but even more fun was to be had on the luge! You can take the Queenstown gondola ride for fabulous views of the town, Lake Wakitipu and The Remarkables mountain range beyond. Then at the top you can hop in a go-cart and race down various tracks wearing a very silly helmet and an even sillier grin! A chairlift takes you back up to the start and as their slogan says: ‘once is never enough’…

I loved the Luge, yes I had several goes. Did you managed to leap the hump half way down? Great fun.
There were a few nice tramps from there further up the mountain.
Don't you think the place reminds you of Keswick in the Lake District?
