Our last day in queenstown was spent doing a bunch of fun stuff. We woke up fairly early and had breakfast at a cool little restaurant. I had pancakes with grilled banana and the best maple syrup that I have ever had. Then it was off for to the spa for a massage and a half hour in the floatation tank. Floating inside that tank was an unreal experience. I don't know if it really served it's purpose for me but it was cool nonetheless. The massage, on the other hand, was a big disappointment. I won't get in to the logistics of it, but it left much to be desired. Jason signed up for the floatation tank but didn't like it.
Afterwards, we had to come back to the hotel because I needed to shower again (my fourth one of the day already!). I had Epsom salt all in my ears from the float tank and excessive oil all over me from the massage where I was drowned in lotion.
Next, we headed up to the gondola that takes you all the way up this huge mountain, which I believe, is called coronet peak. At the top, there is a restaurant with amazing views and luges that you race down a track. Some of the other crazy activities launch from up there, too, like a bungy jump and paragliding (which I hope to try someday soon but there isn't enough time now). The top of the mountain is also the starting point for the ziptrek tour, which is what we were about to do...
High up in a treehouse starts the 4 zipline tour and it's amazing fun zipping through the trees way up at the top of the mountain. Since it's an Eco-tour, we also learned about sustainability.
After ziplining, we took the ski lift up even further up the mountain and did a couple of runs on the luge.
Then, we came back down on the gondola and had dinner before we were picked up for a relaxing private hot pool soak overlooking the shotover river...an awesome end to a great day!
Tomorrow, we start our drive....
