1,2,3…Bungy!!

Woah! I just jumped off the Nevis Highwire bungy jump in Queenstown, NZ, and let me tell you it was pretty amazing – 134m of freefall from a suspended station above a river gorge. The feeling of jumping off that platform is indescribable, one second you are shuffling towards the edge with your feet bound up together, the next you are falling straight down a gorge towards a rather nice looking river. The first thought it “F**k Im falling”, the next is “WOOOAAAAHHH!!”.

I never thought I’d want to bungy, but after doing my skydive from 12,000ft in lake Taupo, it had to be done! Curiously both times I was hungover, which I think prevented me from really getting too nervous about it all. Highly recommended! (Video to follow).

2 weeks left here in NZ, it’s been really amazing and action packed hectic travelling around the country, but I’ve been meeting cool people and seeing amazing sights and experiencing mad things :)
