Queenstown

Vanessa was gobsmacked she'd won the draw at Milford Sound. Ironic really as she hates gondolas/cable cars! Alex did the wobble it a bit routine until resoundedly told off. The gondola ride is an incredibly steep ascent above Queenstown.

At the top there is a hotel/visitors centre place. Great view.


There's also a luge track, basically go-carts. Another cable ride to the top of the luge course.

We all (except V) had a go with our own cart, but it was a bit steep and Alex had a few thumps into the side and I was half controlling him by colliding into him. We went tandem from then on. Shannon, the speed demon, then too the fast course, leaving Alex and I to do the standard. We made good progress though and overtook quite a few people over the next 3 goes.
