Bungy Jump off Kawarau Bridge...DONE!

For a year I have been talking about and mentally preparing myself for bungy jumping in Queenstown. Queenstown is the adventure capital of the world and home of bungy jumping. Parker has jumped before so he passed. Yesterday, I got in line to book my jump and chickened out. I am not ashamed to admit it, the thought of jumping frightens me. I would rather skydive again, a hundred times, before I bungy. I have never walked away from anything because it scared me, so in the end I had no choice. Besides, there is nowhere else I would consider jumping, so it was now or never. Today, I jumped off Kawarau Bridge, the world's first bungy site. It was scary but Freakin' Awesome!!! Bungy in Queenstown - done and done!!!


We have been in Queenstown for four days. This little town is on steroids. It is on beautiful Lake Wakatipu. The town is buzzing with tourists, and on the water you will find jet boats, sailboats and kayakers. When you look up you will see para-gliders and people jumping off the ledge on top of the mountain. We have gotten our fill of fish and chips. Parker finally found some real beer and amazing pizza at Dux De Lux. And we discovered Fergburger's, the best burgers in Queenstown and the best we've ever had. Somehow we are leaving town still on budget! It has been a little shocking walking into such a bustling town after being in the quite mountains but we have definately enjoyed this adrenaline haven.
