but their demeanor is so gentle.
Would you jump off this bridge? Equivalent to the height of a 71 story building?
Look very closely for the tiny human being in mid air at the center of the bridge with a cord attached...
First you have to be brave enough to "walk the plank" without looking down as, if you do, the grate "disappears".
This is the view from the World's Highest Bunji Jump - Bloukrans Bridge!
The platform that scares the daylights out of you - your final jumping point!
Where Andrea thought she was going to have a heart attack as they carried her to the edge (ankles are tied together so you can't walk)...
with perfect form (being the dancer she is), she finally spread her wings and...
flew gracefully towards the earth surface and enjoyed herself now that the hard part was over.
I was defintitely eager as this was my second jump but...
wasn't nearly as graceful as my fiancé!
I was so proud of her that she CHOSE to go through with it - I did not pressure her at all.
And she loved it so much and was so proud of herself...
she even dared say that she would do it again.
She received a certificate that validated she had jumped off the highest bungee in the world - certified by the Guinness World Records!
Next adventure was an Ocean Safari...
on a not so sunny morning out of Plettenberg Bay...
we finally found a couple of Humpback whales...
at the end of whale season making their way north...
with their newborn calf - a rare sighting but no breaching was witnessed...
Although the seals that lazed about on land...
were definitely more playful in the water.
We drove west to Knysna and...
stayed at the Phantom Forest eco-reserve...
where you had to leave your car at the entrance...
