Bungy at the Kawarau River

Hey Ya'll

Hope everyone had a great weekend! The sun has finally decided to show its face so that was pretty great! It's been pretty dismal here the past week, but this week is off to a great start of warmer weather and sunshine.  I am hoping that keeps up :)

As for today's post I wanted to share pictures from the Kawarau River.  This was on the drive to Cromwell and it's an easy stop off to take in some awesome views.  This is also where the AJ Hackett Bungy jump is.  Sadly I did not bunny jump, but I've decided that I will go back and I will jump.  Since I have at minimum six months left here I think it's doable :)

Anywho as soon as you pull up you see this amazing view of the bridge against the backdrop of the mountains and that is one of the first shots I wanted to capture.  So I may or may not have ventured past a "do not cross this point" sign, but I plea the fifth so you will never know ;) I did get an incredible shot of the sun coming just over the mountain so however I got that shot it was well worth it! The river itself is also something to behold.  I really cannot get enough of the spectacular blue rivers here.  Especially one that you can bunny jump into! Pretty neat!! I spent a bit of time just taking it all in and also did a quick wander through the gift shop, which was wayyyyyyyyyyyy over priced.  So needless to say I didn't get anything. Then it was back on the road to Cromwell :)

The drive to Cromwell is just breathtaking! You get to see the magnificent mountains, wineries and the Kawarau River which weaves its way along side the road.  Yeah I was a big fan of the drive! I'm grateful I did not have to drive and could get lost in the landscape :)

Enjoy the pictures :)





Had to get an out the window shot of the winery
Pretty spectacular views if I do say so.  Next week I will be sharing one of my favourite stops along this river.  So have any of ya'll every bunny jumped?
