Queenstown is New Zealand's most popular ski area but it also known for its numerous other outdoor activities. This is the place where Bungy jumping was first commercialized which I have been meaning to try for a while now. I was crazy enough to sign up for three jumps - it was a better deal :-)

Before the first jump - nervousness has not set in yet...
The first jump was off the historic Kawarau bridge which is 43 meters above the river. I got a little more wet then I bargained for (I was only supposed to touch the water with my hands): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjYUMML6rZA
The next jump was the Nevis Highwire which is off a suspended gondola. It takes about 8.5 seconds of freefall to travel the 134 meters and standing on the edge is not a feeling I will forget anytime soon.

This will most likely be a once in a lifetime experience: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uhq4bGPxvlo
