Oh yeah...The Nevis

So the story goes that back in Aussie Jon, Jo, and I all went for a little bungy jump in Cairns. Yeah thought it was such a good idea that i went ahead and did their 'special' which was buy that jump and get the Nevis half price. Well the Nevis is 134 meters of hell. Yeah you have to throw yourself off of a cable car suspended 140m above a river. It's clearly very stupid and why people would pay for it i have no idea. This was before i went to Doubtful Sound by the way. I think i needed something very calm and soothing after ruining my best pair of boxers.



This was before and i was pretty excited because i weigh 86.5kg and that means that i was the 3rd to go. I saw some people stupider than me but i was still alright with it. I was being strapped in and apparently lost my head and was smiling. I got to the edge and from there looking down it is just insane. Luckily they do a count down and peer pressure makes you throw yourself off of this monstrosity. It's like 440ft for a 40 story building or something. Absolutely nuts.



On the way down you feel speed building up. Blood rushing to your head. And your head rushing toward the river. At some point you feel free to think about anything in the world and then you hit the bottom and spring back up. It is a smooth spring unlike the one in Cairns and this actually makes it less scary. It's just the height really.
