DAY THIRTY FIVE - Gibbston

Wednesday, November 20

The AJ Hackett Kawarau Bungy Centre claims that the commercial bungy (or bungee) jump craze originated here off the historic suspension bridge in this valley.  We stopped by to watch a few people take a leap off the Kawarau bridge originally built in 1880.  The leap is the equivalent of jumping off a ten-story building.  Then we went for a walk along a trail through vineyards that follows the river valley.

Next it was time for wine tasting at the Chard Vineyards.  The vineyard is located on the original road that ran through the valley.
