Our free time was spent wandering the tourist packed streets of Queenstown which has adventure guides and mountain gear shops on every corner.

A few brave souls, including myself, mustered up the courage to take on The Nevis bungy jump outside of town on Sunday morning. With all of us literally shaking as the bus rolled out of town, my buddy Ryan turned as said “Man, I feel like some ridiculous heavy metal music should be blasting right now”…..and on queue the driver cranked up Welcome to the Jungle. I was hitting just about the same notes as Axel in the photo above. Check out the full video of my jump here.

The adventure capital of the world sure lived up to its hype. And I haven’t even been jet boating, paragliding, skydiving, or heli-skiing yet. Stay tuned…
