Bungee Jumping at Victoria Falls...check!So obviously from this I'm at Victoria Falls. They are so full right now that you can't actually see them because the spray the send up completely blocks your view. But you do get nice and wet.
The bungee jumping was so scary up until I put my toes over the edge, then I just stood up, they counted down from five and I jumped out. I don't even remember the first few seconds other than thinking "OK, this isn't so bad. I can enjoy this." As the bungee stretched and started slowing me it was really cool. After the first couple of bounces I stopped flipping upright when the bungee shot me back up (which was fun) so I found that the blood was rushing to my head and it wasn't as good. Finally, after they hauled me back up I had to wait for the next jumpers before I could get off the bridge and I was on a metal grid platform about 2 feet wide - plenty of space except when you can see through it back down the 111 meters and you're afraid of heights. Yes, I jumped off a bridge when I'm too scared to even stand up straight on it.
As the saying goes, "Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most."
Nice photo!
