I did it...

I'm in Queenstown, New Zealand, adventure capital of the world!  Obviously, some serious adventuring has gone down and I have a lot to update as I've been a bit of a blog slacker since my biggest fan has been with me (and she's still very upset with me for not updating more often).

Queenstown is a stunning little city on the south island and I'll be talking more about what we've done in the scenery, but another thing it is famous for is being the birthplace of the bungy.  Yes - I said it early on in planning this trip - I was going to jump.  And jump I have.  Earlier today I set out for the first jump in the world - the Kawarau Bridge Bungy, which is off a bridge and is 43 Meters.  Was I looking forward to it? No.  Did I feel it necessary to do? Yes.  When in Rome, right?

I was pretty much rethinking my decision right about here.  

Here I go!

The one thing I really wanted to be sure of was that I got a good jump in.  First, because I NEVER wanted to feel like I had to do it again. And second, because a bad jump can leave you injured (not very badly, but the thought of whiplash so bad that the blood vessels in my eyes pop just didn't sound appealing, at all).

Mission accomplished!
