Jump!

So, this post is a little delayed. I went to the south island two weeks ago, but didn't include the most exciting pictures! But, I finally have them, so now you can exclaim over how brave you think I am. :) 

The scary tiny bridge that swung with the wind. I was clinging for my life and shuffling my way to the platform. 

Nevis Arc Swing= Highest swing in the world! (Buff lady strapping us in)

Me and Anna dangling by the ledge. The canyon is 160 meters deep, which, according to Google is 524 feet!
They were waiting for some machine to get into place, so we just had to dangle in midair. They kept telling me to put both my hands out, but I couldn't. But, I did manage to wave one hand out for a couple of seconds!

Me and Anna are pumped on the way back up. I wanted to do it again! The adrenaline rush was incredible! There was a 300 meter arc that we swung across the canyon and it was awesome!



Now for the Bungy Jump! This was much more scarier than the Nevis Swing! We jumped off the bridge where bungy jumping was invented!

I did a tandem jump with my friend Janet. There was no way I could have chosen to jump without someone else! That's why bungy jumping was scarier for me because you had to choose to jump. I would have wanted someone to just let go of me or push me! But, they aren't allowed to do that. 

I didn't know what pose to do in my frightened state of mind. 

The jump from the platform's perspective. 

The old man on the right told us to look at the rainbow that just appeared in the sky. He told us to jump to the rainbow. That was the last thing I remember before we snapped back up. Literally, I blanked out for a couple of seconds! 

As you can see, I jumped feet first. Which is bad! haha! Janet jumped head first, which is what you're supposed to do. But I can't even remember thinking, so my body just did what it wanted to. 

The beautiful greenery. 

Butt shot.

They pulled us down and unhooked us from a raft in the river. I told the men I loved them from saving me from the bungy jump. They were taken aback because apparently they don't get that everyday.

So I did both these things in one day. By the end, I was so tired from the adrenaline rushes, that I fell asleep as soon as my head touched the pillow.
