Van update, we are now on our third camper, the second was towed away yesterday after failing to start, due to dodgey diesel pump, so we had a nearly new top of the range van dropped off, so hopefully no more breakdowns !!!
Bungie jump was done a few days ago now, 47M so not massive but scary as hell ! Carla made me go first, on the little jump platform I was soo scared, but managed to jump on the 1 - 2 -3 Bungie !!, A stange feeling, but a good buzz. Thought I couldnt be scared much after that, but i was wrong, Carla decided we needed more and booked us for "The shotover Canyon Swing" I wasnt too keen on this one as i saw it on wonderweb before I left and kept quiet, basically you pick a method to be released or drop off a platform resulting in a 60m freefall before ropes go tight and then a 200m arc swing, the canyon is a scary place, I opted for the Chair, you sit on a plastic patio chair strapped to your legs, then you have to rock backwards until you go to far and go toppling into the canyon. NOW THIS WILL TAKE SOME BEATING FOR THE SCARIEST THING EVER ! horrible, THE INSTRUCTORS ARE EVIL ASWELL, TEASING AND WINDING YOU UP !!
So thats all the activites done, just sights and relaxing now.
Kee we saw the funny off licence name, knew it was the one straight away, had a t pot and x2 furgburgers, top recomendations, cheers
