Bungee jumping is one of those things that have always been
on my bucket list (along with making my own jam, going to The Ritz for
afternoon tea and learning the sax – it’s an eclectic list). Whilst I like the idea of the
thrill of it, and plus the bragging rights, I am actually scared of heights. Ok,
not so much heights but more have a fear of falling. Funnily enough, so does
the Boy so I have no idea why we put it on our to do list for the honeymoon.
But it was on the list. And we have told people. So we had
to go through with it!!!

Waking up to a deep set cloud, so low we couldn’t see that
far ahead of us, we weren’t even sure we
were going to be able to do it anyway.
The weather was just so bad. We were meant to be jumping at 1pm but missed the
fact that we were meant to get there an hour before so when we rocked up at 1pm,
we were told we would have to wait for the 2pm slot.
Waiting around has to be the worst thing about the whole
experience.
Getting weighed (I put 2kg on in a week, damn good food) and getting kitted up took all of ten minutes so it was a long drawn out wait for our slot. It actually worked out well for us though, because by 2pm, the clouds had parted, revelling the valley and mountains before us. Although I am not sure if that is a good thing because now we could see how far up we were – and it was high. This is the world’s highest bridge bungee at over 200m!!!!
