216 metres is a long way down!

Wow! Did the world's highest bungee on Tuesday, which was an incredible experience beyond words. Some stats for you (I'm a maths teacher, I can't help it!): the bridge was 216m off the ground (that's about 100 storeys of a building), the bungee went down 150-180m, and I reached a speed of around 120-150 km/h - straight towards the ground! I want to rave about how amazing it was, but I genuinely can't really find words to describe it (just look at the pics - do a slideshow). The only problem is now, how can I top it? I'm going to start by trying an abseil down the side of table mountain in Cape Town (where I am now). The abseil is 150m or so, but it's at a height of 1000m over the city!

The day after the bungee I went for a 22km bike ride through the national park in Storms River, which was beautiful. Two slightly unhinged dogs that lived at the hostel decided to follow us in, and then wandered off and didn't follow us back, so I managed to lose the hostel's beloved dogs! They did find them eventually, but only after searching and phoning around all night!

I jumped off a bridge over 200m high! Just thought I'd mention that again.
