80. Bucket List Fun in Queenstown, New Zealand.


Listen Later

Do you have a bucket list – have you been ticking things off it – well in this episode I get to drag Lyle along – literally-  to another one of my bucket list items that I know is on many other peoples to do before I kick the bucket list as well. 

We start our day in the icy, frosty, freezing, pre-sunrise morning and end up floating 7,000 feet over the most spectacular scenery watching the sunrise over snowcapped mountain ranges. 
Trust me if hot air ballooning isn’t something you have thought about doing – then you will after this episode.

Next activity we share with you probably wouldn’t be classed as a bucket list item – but should definitely be on your to do list if you are in Queenstown and I believe that the end product of this afternoon class, that I once again dragged Lyle along, to is definitely a world first – I can guarantee that no other travel podcast in the world can say they have this. Here’s a hint – it smells good – and no it’s not wine.

One of the most popular activities, and for good reason, and another one I had to convince Lyle to do (there’s a theme here) is the famous Shotover jet boat.  Actually, I had to be persuaded into doing this as well – by my grandsons, but it was so worth it.

It is a spectacular, exhilarating, fun, entertaining, educational, visually magnificent and another life long memory activity to do in Queenstown.

Stay listening to the end to hear the about the activity that I absolutely refuse to do, Lyle too.  No grandchild could persuade me to do this, but if you are braver than me you will want to hear all the details of this death defying activity that was invented in New Zealand. But

you can – like we did, sit and sip fabulous Central Otago wine and watch the crazy, I mean brave, people take the plunge.

Hope you enjoy Episode 80 all about some fabulous, fun, exhilarating and downright crazy activities that you can do if you are visiting New Zealand.
