This is how you wake up in the morning, jumping off a cable car hanging 440ft (134m) over a river. You can't read it, but someone had written "Hi" in the dirt at the bottom.	Like I said, it's a cable car hanging in the middle of Nevis valley	Jetboating, they run these boats down through a canyon getting as close to the walls as they can. The boats can also spin 360 degrees while moving forward.

After whitewater rafting on the Shotover River, we ended the day with another bungy jump, only 154ft (47m) but a great view		Didn't jump here, but this was the first commercial bungy jumping site, over the Kawarau River
