Friday Jan 6th we went for a rock climbing adventure in Queenstown. We did the Via Ferrata, which is a climbing style with fixed rungs and a cable system. It was only the two of us with the guide, so we went along comfortably at our own pace. We hiked up a little and then started our climb. We climbed three sections of rock face, each with different challenges. Once we made it to the top, we took a rest, and then we abseiled down two sections. It was a perfect experience, because it was not to hard since there were easily accessible rungs, but it was still challenging and high enough of a climb to scare you a bit. After about three hours we made it back to the bottom. After rock climbing we took the Skyline gondola up to the mountain top from 1115 above sea level in Queenstown to 2591 feet above sea level. Once we made it to the top, we went on the skyline luge. We not only went once, we did it 5 times. To do the luge we took another lift just a little farther up, got into the carts, and raced down. We really enjoyed ourselves and got quite cracked up at each other and the other people on the track. While Dave was a bit rough and almost threw himself out a couple of times, we ended the 5 rides safe and sound. We better rest up for Saturday because there is a lot on the agenda!
