Day 17

After massive night out at Geraldine Rugby CLub the boy, girls, men and women on the Whitgift Tour were off for another adventure on the last stage of their epic tour.

A few sore heads and stomachs were easily cured on the journey to Queenstown with the amazing views at Lake Tekapo and Lake Pukaki... A special thanks must go to Eddie for his heroics in the freezing cold Pukaki Lake where he braved the ridiculous temperatures and won a bet as he stayed in there for 2 minutes.

We then set our sights on lunch at Omprama Town where the boys re-fuelled for the last drag of the coach journey... Travelling through the Wahau Gorge was something indescribable and will be unforgettable for the rest of the boys lives.

We then made haste through the Gibbstan Valley ( Valley of the Vines) and on to the Kawarau Bridge where the tour party were chanting for a scared and frightened girl to do the bungee jump but she was not persuaded.. we will not forget her face as she cried to get of the intimidating platform over the freezing cold river.

We then arrived at the Queenstown Lodge hotel and the boys are looking foward for their triple challenge and a couple of nights that we won't forget....:)
