one "extreme" day (don't think my heart can handle anymore!)

we decided to go "big" and do the thrillogy...three jumps in one day!


the 1st jump....the bridge (home of the first ever jump site-1988)


the view from the bridge

penguin walking to the edge...i told the guy to not let me fall and then realized that is what i was there to do! haha

getting ready to jump....

the three of us after our first bungy jump ever...only two more to go!

i didnt want to get dunked in the water but the guys operating the bungy gave me extra bungy and made me get wet...oh well it was refreshing on a hot day!



the 2nd jump....Nevis (highest in NZ-404ft)

yep folks, thats what I jumped from!

on the mini cable car ride over to the jump car

the three brave souls...what were we thinking?
james (england), sandra (mexico), me

thats the floor of the cable car...made it more intense that you could see through it!

the view from the cable car....the jump is 404ft down to the bottom of that gulley! ahhhhh
and what made it worse was that i had to wait for an hour and watch 20 people go ahead of me.


i had to sit in a wobbly chair so that they can strap/clip me in...the chair was on springs so it made it seem like i was going to fall backwards out of the cable car. it def added to the suspense. i have never been so scared!

me, bouncing along after the big jump.

I survived! That was prob the scariest thing I have ever done, much much worse than skydiving! but it was so so worth it!



the 3rd jump...."the ledge"
thats the view from my last bungy...view of Queenstown
i decided to try something a little different on my last jump...went for a front flip!





the last jump wasn't as scary, which was good bc i got to enjoy it more!

I also have video and dvd's of all the jumps, for anyone that wants to see it when I get home

I just hope you said a prayer before you turned your life over to a rubber band! I'll tell you I don't know if I'm going to be able to take 6 more months of this. There is nothing wrong with laying in a hammock under a shade tree. You don't have to try to kill yourself. Love Mom and Dad
