for some reason, three days ago i decided to sign up for the one thing i said i would never do..............it had never interested me! ................... ..............so why was i lying in bed hoping that the time would never come to get up and head for the BUNGY station!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had been feeling sick for the past 3 days....my stomach literally turned everytime someone mentioned it! anyway, I walked zombie like into the office.praying that there would be some reason we couldn't jump! ( i couldnt back out myself as you dont get any money back!) well once i had my weight drawn on my hand and signed the form saying 'if you die its not our fault'..........i jumped on the bus! the drive up the mountain was pretty scary in itself........we were so high and the road was so narrow! At the top there was no hanging around...except for me!! As the lightest of 20 people i was going to be jumping last!! not sure if that was good or bad!! It was quite relaxing watching others jump.......its amazing how many different ways people can scream in fear!!! even grown men!! The gondola we waited in had see-through floors just to add to the fear factor!!! as the queue got shorter i started to feel more and more nervous............although according to the others i put on a confident show...........what ARE they talking about!!!!! i was cr***ing myself! (sorry about the language but there is just no other way to explain it!) My turn had come...........i was strapped in to the various contraptions they call safety harnesses (they do not feel tight enough at all, i thought it would be sooo tight around your ankles and its not!!!) they do all this in a chair that looks like it belongs in the pregnancy ward in a hospital! nice!........... Anyway, the guy gets you to stand up and shuffle towards the edge......up till now i was nervous but this is when i really felt like freaking out. i reached the edge and was desperate for him not to let go in case i fell (kinda the whole point though!) he told me to look straight ahead instead of down...its amazing how much this helps actually..........i felt a little calmer ( you can even notice in the dvd!) once you feel like this you just want to go so i didnt even wait for him to finish the 5-4-3-2-1-bungy.........i was already gone! Im not sure what happened after this picture.............i dont know if i had my eyes open or closed.i think your mind just shuts down................before i knew it i was conscious of falling head first and this is when i decided to scream....................with joy!!!!! this is what you go through all the agony for........that moment when you realise its ok!! .......the bouncing bit is weird as you cant get a bearing because you're upside down!!! then on the second bounce you have to do a sit up and and pull the cord to release your legs so you are sat upright......................i knew things had been going too well!!! my legs were released but one got stuck in the ropes! i probably could have got it free but i was too scared to move around too much as i was still hanging a very long way up! it wasnt a big deal but it meant i had one leg down and one stuck up in the air!!!............. a funny sight on the dvd!!! After getting back in the pod i swore never to do it again............ but i am soooooo glad i did it!!!!!! treated myself to a 'Ferg burger' (the best burgers in the world....ask anyone whos had one!! some one in fiji told me about them..........its like a backpacker must do !! after all the excitment it was an early night for me.......so nice to go to bed knowing its all over!!!
