Action-packed Weekend!

So far this weekend has been awesome! This morning Jen and I headed to Tsisikama Falls for a zipline tour. We were basically flying through a deep river gorge on zip lines! It was amazing! The scenary is beautiful here... definitely in competition with NZ! After lunch, we headed to the world's highest bungy jump! I wasn't planning on doing it at first... I have been sky diving and I am on a bit of a budget, but I walked onto the bridge with Jen, and I couldn't resist! They had music pumping while people were getting harnesses up and I knew I would regret it if I didn't do it! I asked if it was too late to change my mind (it was only $66) and they made arrangements for me to jump.

It was AMAZING. After watching many people jump, being amongst the noise, commotion, and music on the bridge (or should I say, underneathe the bridge, there were cars speeding above us), I couldn't NOT jump. I knew I would regret it if I didn't. It was AWESOME. After the initial departure from the bridge, it ended up being very peaceful. It was silent in this deep river rivine... surrounded by the Tsistikama mountains and seeing the river mouth opening to the Indian Ocean... I was speechless... I just screamed with amazement, not fear. It was like I was in my own world once I jumped. I can not explain how beautiful it was.

The physical side-effects were interesting though. I still feel like any bit of congestion that was in my body is now in my head. Hanging upside down for so long does some weird things to you. But it was SO worth it. I'm so glad I decided to do it. The views were amazing. And I don't think I mentioned this yet... it was the HIGHEST commercial bungy jump IN THE WHOLE WORLD!!! I have pictures, but I will upload them tomorrow.

I am back at the house now, safe and sound. We are having a big BBQ (or as the South Africans say "Braii"). I must rejoin them for some burgers and sausage. What an awesome day!

Yesterday we went on an amazing hike in Nature's Valley. Tomorrow, if we are feeling up to it, we are headed to hike to the point of RObberg peninsula! It should be awesome if the weather holds up the way it has for the last few days. I love South Africa!!
