Whitewater Rafting

December 27th - Queenstown, New Zealand - We went whitewater rafting on the Shotover River today. There were rapids from Class 3 - 5. The picture below is a Class 5. The water was really cold! We were suited up with very thick full body wetsuits, booties and splash jackets. The rafting itself was about 1.5 hours and we had about 4 or 5 major rapids. One cool part was going through a tunnel where we had to get down inside the raft and David got to steer the front of the raft through the tunnel. The road to the river was half of the adventure. We took a bus on Skippers Canyon Road which was winding narrow and had turns called "Bus Crash Curve". One of the turns required one wheel to be partially off the cliff. Overall we loved it! Check out a couple pics below.
