Bungy Jumping has been invented in New Zealand and is huuuuge here, thus a clear ‘must do’ for all visitors \ud83d\ude42\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
I threw myself already a couple of times off some cranes and bridges about 10 years ago, when bungy jumping conquered Europe, I have to admit, though, each time I was shi$%ting myself as I’m really\u00a0 –\u00a0 and I mean\u00a0 r e a l l y\u00a0 – scared of heights !!\u00a0 ‘Why do it then’, you might ask, because I feel it’s good to face & conquer your fears, try it, you’ll see, that counts with all sorts of fears in life and even if it’s something like travelling to a foreign country alone, once you go for it, you’ll be stoked with it 4 sure !!<\/p>\n
Thus, I decided onto New Zealand’s highest water bungy at the beautiful lake Taupo on New Zealand’s central North island.\u00a0 Taupo Bungy<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0boasts the world’s first cantilever platform which extends out 153 feet above the crystal clear waters of the Waikato river.\u00a0 Just like 10 years ago, I was scared as standing up there and looking down I’ve been asking myself many time ‘why why why..???’, it took me a fair amount of time to persuade myself that it’s good to conquer fears (as you’ll see on the video), then the dude counted me in… 3, 2, 1… I couldn’t do it !?\u00a0 Then I simply told my mind to shut up, concentrated in enjoying this, asked the dude of Taup Bungy to count me in again, this time from 5, 4, 3, 2, 1\u00a0 B U N G Y\u00a0 and off I went, siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick \ud83d\ude42\u00a0\u00a0 Once down, I wanted to do it all over again but had to continue my adventure further up the\u00a0East Coast of\u00a0 New Zealand’s beautiful North island.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
