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...
