Whitewater rafting

After the hiking, I was supposed to go on a three day whitewater rafting trip. A helicopter flies you up the river and then you raft down and camp along the river. Unfortunately, they did not get the minimum to sign up so had to cancel it.

As a consolation, they gave me a complementary 1/2 day whitewater rafting on the Shotover River. It was a fine (NZ term for beautiful weather) day. The water was cold, but felt great as the wet suits were warm. Flows were pretty good due to storms earlier.

Ended up with extra days due to not having 3 days whitewater rafting, so am headed up the West coast and hope to spend a day hiking on glaciers.
