Shotover Jet of Love

On Valentines Day, me and Katie (my token Valentine for the day) decided to do the Shotover Jet, mainly because it is a red jet-boat (being the day of love an all) but also because it's supposed to be good fun - you whizz throught the Shotover canyon at 80km/hr doing 360° spins. I was a bit annoyed at the fact I couldn't have a go myself, but these drivers have 1500 hours worth of training before they are even allowed to take a paying passenger so I was probably better off with them.
The Shotover Canyon is pretty stunning to look at but even more exhilerating when the sheer rock faces are zooming past you at a fair rate of knots.

Look at them go!

Hold on tight, we're spinning. Where's (the) Wally?
