It is located in Otago region in the South island of New Zealand and the river is fast flowing along 60 kilo meters. It also known as one of the richest gold bearing rivers of the world that has a long history in gold mining.

The river is mostly popular for white water rafting and Shotover jet rides and also for its bungy jumping sites in the upper part of the river on Skippers Canyon. The jet boat ride is incredibly thrilling where the riders skim through rocky outcrops closely. The area where the Shotover ride operates in the river is just ten minutes away from the center of Queenstown where it flows rapidly through steep canyon walls. The river is believed to have been fixed during thousands of years by millions of tons of freezing water flowing from towards the Southern Alps.

The Jet boat used to the ride which is called Big Reds has been uniquely designed for Shotover River and it is specifically designed with maximum speed strength. It is endurable for 3500 kg containing 14 passengers and the skillful driver who takes the boat at speed of 85 mph. And the boat can spin a full circle of 360 degree in its own length. Passengers safety is guaranteed during the ride as the drivers instructions are to be kept on mind. Passengers usually grip the hand rail tight while being thrilled as the boat spins at is high speed.

Also the area provides the opportunity to enhance the thrill by white water rafting. Especially the Kawarau River is a great choice with four rapids between which calmer stretches of river are also found. In Shotover River there are six rapids including Oxenbridge Tunnel which is 170 meters long raft in the darkness.

Holland Travel – Amsterdam Van Gogh Anne Frank

Holland certainly has a reputation with travelers. Known for having a very liberal attitude on social issues such as prostitution and drugs the reputation is not always deserved. Yes marijuana and prostitution is legal but there is so much more to the country. Many look at Amsterdam as Holland but visitors know there is much more. If you desire to travel to Holland also known as the Netherlands don’t miss these attractions.

Amsterdam

Simply put Amsterdam has something for everyone. The city is an incredibly beautiful collection of old world European architecture elegantly partitioned by canals. In truth the city is built on roughly 90 small islands although you can hardly tell. Transportation is best undertaken on foot or by bicycle. With a cool climate you’ll barely break a sweat.

Contrary to popular opinion Amsterdam is not just a city of liberal policies. Yes coffee bars sell things other then just coffee. Yes there are women in windows that are awfully friendly. Still there is so much more to experience in the city.

Van Gogh Museum

The Rijksmuseum Vincent van Gogh houses the world’s largest collection of the work of Vincent van Gogh. From his early work the museum contains 700 artistic works and 850 letters. After moving to Paris in 1886 van Gogh entered an impressionist period of which the museum contains a large collection. Perhaps the most interesting thing about the collection is the organization. The entire collection is arranged chronologically from the first to last work. As you walk you can clearly see the evolution of this master’s skill.

Anne Frank House

Who hasn’t read the intense diary of Anne Frank? Hiding from the Nazis she and her family lived in an annexed section of an apartment in Amsterdam for two years. In 1957 the house was donated to the Anne Frank Foundation and turned into a museum. A visit will send chills through your spine. The museum contains films the annexed area and the original notes of Anne Frank. A must see for anyone traveling to Amsterdam.

Beyond Amsterdam

For those needing a break from Amsterdam there is much to be seen in Holland. If you are looking for a color explosion consider taking the bulb cycling tour out of Noordwijk. Windmills your thing? Head to the De Zaan district to see them in action. Prefer to spend a night in a castle? Try the Castle Hotel Engelenburg which even lets you ruin a good walk by playing golf.

Travel to Holland and you won’t regret it. Whether you want to “investigate” the countries liberal policies or simply bike through fields of tulips Holland will satisfy.
