Heart pounding...wet hands. A smile, though a bit exaggerated. Goose bumps and a short shiver. Feeling totally in control....for one second. Look over the edge to seem brave. Put on the gear and feel your heart pounding even more. Say out loud 'Mum, I love you'. Feel really happy you are not doing this on your own (in my case). See your hero getting all geared up. Put on yet another, less secure, smile. Hear this far away voice telling you to step down. Try to pretend you are NOT nervous by having a random conversation with this person. See your hero loosing his smile... Try to cheer him up by putting on one last happy face. Let the gear be wraped around your legs. Feel the heavy weight on your feet. Stand up, walk forwards, smile in the camera, smile in the camera again. Feel your hero's arm around you. Put your arm even tighter around him. Take really small steps to the edge. TRY NOT TO LOOK DOWN! Look down...Hear '3,2,1'...say 'no,no,no'.... Feel 'your not so hero anymore now' pulling you with him on 1. Scream like a girl and forget to open your eyes. Get this amazing feeling in your stomach which is ruined by the cold water splash after about 40 meters. Kiss your 'again' hero. Hang on your head for too long. Get lowered into a boat for a pretty 'the moment after' picture. Smile... and keep smiling :)
I got thrown of the Kawarau bridge. The bridge where AJ Hackett and Henry van Asch started the first commercial bungy jump in the world!
Best activity ever! Great feeling to never forget and I will bring you there to watch you jump of this bridge, feel your own heart pounding and come up to me with a smile telling me this is the best thing you did in your life!
- Bacon and Eggs Tours will make it possible for you!
