Check another one off the bucket list! I did my first bungy jump today in Taupo with a friend I made on the Kiwi Experience bus, Jade from England. We were both keen to try a bungy, so we decided to do the tandem jump, which was actually called "Couples Therapy." We definitely got a laugh out of the name. The laughter soon turned to nervous giggles and quivery-voiced profanities as we shuffled our feet over to the edge of the bungy platform. I can't really tell you how crazy it looks when you're actually up there and looking down, knowing that you're about to (willingly!) jump off. It sure seems a lot higher looking down than it would if you were just standing on the bank across the river watching somebody jump. I also wore one of Brent's "Badd Habbits" band t-shirts, which he gave me when we met up in Vancouver on my layover en route to NZ. I promised him I'd do some advertising in NZ for him! Voila! :o)

Screaming madly as we jumped off
Mid-jump shot from across the riverI've been waiting for a whopping 2 1/2 hours for the video to upload to my blog, but I really can't be bothered to sit here any longer so I've canceled the upload and will try again later! It's so painfully slow... and my patience has run out! Peace out until next time! Love you guys!
