Bungy was AMAZING!!!! I can't quite decide which is the best out of bungy and sky dive - they are so different I don't think I can choose! It was a 45 minute dirve from Queenstown to the Nevis Pod - this seemed top go on forever the bus was full of a combintion of nervous chatter and sick silence! We drove up a VERY steep road up the side of a mountain and eventually the pod came into view and it really was VERY high!!!! At this point it still hadn't truly sunk in what I was doing but I was defintaely feeling more nervous that before my skydive! We got harnessed up and then weighed - my weight was written in permenant marker on my hand NICE ONE! Then we went to a platform which connected to a cable car which shuttled us across to the jump platform. The jumped us in weight order heaviest to lightes and there was only two people lighter than me so I had to watch 17 people jump!!!!! I felt sick and it was horrible waiting all that time! I got ankle cuffs attatchd to me and it was EVENTUALLY my turn! My legs turned to jelly and I could hardly walk to the chair to get attatched to the cord! Once I was attatced I had to waddle over to the edge it was HIGH!!!!! 3- 2 - 1 Bungee and I jumped!!!!!!! It was another one of those moments where I didn't think everything seemed to be going in slow motion I screamed for the 8seconds freefall and when the bungy cord kicked in all I could do was laugh! On the second bounce I had to reach up and pull a cord to release my feet I was determined that I would do this I didn't want to be winched the whole way up hanging upside down! So I flipped round to a sitting position and admired the view! The guy who had hooked me up to the bungy cord said that my dive had been really good! It was amazing and I got a HUGE buzz after it!!!!!! I want to do another one - after initially being petrified it was FAB!
