Jetboating...

Once safely back from the river, and after a well-deserved sandwich and hot shower, we set off once again, this time to tackle Jet-Boating! This involves being driven in a very fast speedboat down a canyon very close to large overhanging rocks! There are several jet-boating companies, but we chose to do the Shotover Jet as this is the one we could see shooting along the river below Sally and Andy's house.

We again donned life-jackets and took our seats in the high speed jet boat for the 'ride of our lives'! It was really good fun, more like a ride at Alton Towers (without the huge safety belt!), so you could relax and enjoy the thrills, compared to the surfing which felt more like taking your life into your own hands! We must be such wimps! Anyway, we sped up and down the river, doing 360 degree spins, screaming, laughing and getting soaked - well Nige did cause he was on the edge! Great fun!!
