Bond... James Bond... Yup, i did it!! I jumped off Verzasca Dam, the same Dam that james bond jumped off at the start of the movie `golden eye`!! And thankfully (again) im still alive to share the story ;)
But, before the jump was another week packed full of France day trips, visiting touristy places in Geneva and a few more nights out with my cousin and co. The nights out this last week were more relaxed, more house parties with close friends. So was nice, got to know a lot of cool Swiss-french and Swiss-italians. Were a few Swiss-Italians that caught my eye, but unfortunately, yet again my quest for `wifey for lifey`has failed. Tried to learn french but Wow-zers its a hard language, i couldnt say one word properly.. I think ill stick to english, seems to be getting me around pretty well so far :P One of my cousins friends showed me around Geneva one day, pretty nice of him. Saw (what is meant to be) the longest public bench in the world, not sure it was, but its like 120 meters long or something? Checked out CERN, the smartest people/place in the world!! Absolutely crazy with what they are saying about the Big Bang and the Universe, my brain was in so much pain after thinking so hard about it all... Did u know that its possible that there is an exact same universe as this one, so, that means there is 2 of you!!! :O
Did an actual tour of the UN this time, managed to perfectly time it so i got to see one of the meetings with all the countries in the room. Found the Australian guy, he didnt look to excited about anything lol-go aussies! And bought a swiss watch from the UN shop (its like 40% off from normal shops.. how could i say no?) So pretty happy with that buy, finally something to replace my Heineken band from Amsterdam :P
Had a Fondue night, soooo much cheese... was pretty good stuff but once you stop eating and it settles in your stomach... its like you just ate a train, its so thick. During the last day went to see Annecy in France, pretty nice place, similar to Amsterdam but could only spend 1 hour there as had to get back for Halloween Night!!!
My costume was pretty weird... it was like a Ninja-waiter thing... not sure.. my cousin was Willy wonker which was pretty cool, had so many cool/sleezy pick up lines for him haha. Was meant to go out to a club after going to a house party, but I didnt really make it out after... Felt pretty bad for cutting our last night out short.
Any Ways, now it was BUNGEE JUMPING TIME! Early morning (6am wake up...ehhh), rainy day and 6 hours later; arrived at Verzasca Dam! Its massivveee, 220 meters high, was really cool with the weather aswell because it was surrounded in clouds. But I was prettyyyy scared, a lot more scared than Sky diving, i think its because of the fact that nobody is behind you, and `you`actually have to be the one that jumps, you dont get pushed haha. Was incredible though, after a second you feel like your floating, insane feeling. Ill be putting up a video when I can :) Wanted to have two videos, one of me from an outside view, and one camera in my hand, but he wouldnt let me :( But the video is pretty cool, its slightly embarrassing because I do all my shouting just before I jump... haha
Currently at my cousins Aunt`s place at the other side of Switzerland. Only here for a few days but hopefully should be enough before starting my Germany tour!! :)
