| That's the bridge... |
On Sunday I did one of the craziest
things in my life so far. I jumped off a 96 meters high bridge.
If you now think that I am crazy: I am
not. I just went bungee jumping. It wasn't my idea, however. On my
last birthday I got it as a present and last Sunday, nearly one year
after that I finally dared to to do it. My voucher was for the famous
and very high bridge “Jauntalbrücke” so I went there with my
sister and a friend of mine. It

| That's the view from up there... |
is Europe's highest railroad bridge
with its 96 meters. Under the bridge the river “Drau” flows. The
scenery there is beautiful, the green-blue water and forest
everywhere! The scenery, however, was not enough to calm me down.
When I got there, there were 4 people jumping before me. With every
person jumping off the platform I got more nervous. I don't suffer
from vertigo and I knew that nothing bad at all would happen. Still,
the thought of having to jump was horrible. When it was my turn one
of the trainers told me what to do and said I should take it easy.
Haha. That's not that easy when you are standing on the edge of such
an abyss. ;) With the instructions, however, it was not so bad
because I could concentrate on what I had to do. So when the final
word of the countdown (Jump!) was there I just jumped and tried to do
what the guy told me to. At first I thought I have to throw up
because of that horrible dropping feeling I got in my stomach. It
felt like going down with an elevator but about a hundred times
worse. After that it was just amazing! It was so much fun, I had to
giggle all the time while spinning through the air. When my spinning
got less, the guy in the rubber dinghy on the river grabbed my hand
and pulled me in the boat and asked me if I was alright. I was very
alright. :D After hiking all the 96 meters back up again to my
friends I got a certificate that I am a woman for every case. ;) I
can absolutely recommend bungee jumping to you, I would definitely do
it again if it wasn't so expensive.
That sounds great!! :D I always wanted to try that too ^^ could you tell me how much it costs to do that? :) would be great thanks :D
AntwortenLöschenI think it costs € 79. :)
AntwortenLöschenomg! that's amazing! what was the hardest thing to do? I'd imagine the jump itself (the overcoming of this strange feeling that you're gonna fall the very next second) would be the hardest thing for me...
AntwortenLöschenI guess the jump itself really was the hardest thing but the waiting before was horrible as well. I don't really know, afterwards it seems like it wasn't that hard anyway. ;) Even though it really was...
AntwortenLöschenoh boy O.O very brave of you!!

AntwortenLöschenAnd 79€ actually isn't that bad actually - I thought it was more expensive!
