Today I ran off a hill on the slope of Harder Kulm in Interlaken, and paraglided for about 25 minutes. I decided yesterday that I would do it after watching paragliders in the air all after noon. I was pretty nervous as we drove up the mountain, gaining more and more altitude, getting more of a view, and I thought "f***-inell...This is pretty high...". But as much as we were getting high, the more I felt excited about taking the jump. It was awseome just crusing around with my pilot, Beat, for around half an hour. In my group there were 2 grandparents! One Grandpa from South Africa and a Canadian Granny doing it with her granddaughter. I was pretty impressed!
After that the paragliding group went and got lunch and I splashed out on a traditional swiss dish, Rösti, which is baisically grated potatos baked with tomato and cheese...Yum! I am thinking about doing canyoning tomorrow and this morning, mad to sugegst to Mum the prospect of owning me some money. Cash tends to run out fast when you are as extreme as I am :P
