While waiting for the cinema
in Arrowtown to open Dorothy Brown the owner suggested we go and spend the
afternoon wine tasting and on route we would pass the famous Bungy bridge. The
wine tasting was free so off we went.
We came across the bridge and witnessed
people paying to jump, idiots. Who would have thought that we soon
would join them.
After consulting the experts as to
whether Paul should jump with his back problems it was decided we
should go for it.
I think due to the fact it was were it all
started, it was one of those things that had you not done it, later in life you
would have wished you had.
So we jumped.
The historic Kawarau Bridge is home of Bungy
pioneers AJ Hackett and Henry Van Asch's first commercial Bungy site. It was
here in 1988 that the Bungy phenomenon began.
43meters above the stunning Kawarau River,
this Bungy jump is still the most popular Bungy in New Zealand, attracting
thousands of thrill -seekers and spectators every year.

  It seemed like a good idea at
the time
