After a few weeks if being really tired and lazy yesterday I got off my ass to do something with my time.
Bungee Jumping! The day started badly, I’m not good at early mornings (they make me nauseous) or bus trips (they also make me nauseous) so the 4 hour trip to ‘The Last Resort’ was horrible. The first half I was just counting my breaths to attempt to distract myself enough to not vomit, the second half I went to sleep on the flat bit of the bus beside the driver, but still work up multiple times feeling really really bad.
Then, I got ultra sunburned while waiting for my turn to jump.
The jump itself was AMAZING. I do love jumping, it feels like flying. Apparently I have ‘good form’ more of a dive and it looked good. It felt good. It was a great feeling, it only lasts a few seconds, but still its great.
The walk back up wasn’t so great. I lost most of the adrenaline rush because of the huge hike back up the hill, about 30mins all going up.
Still, after I calmed down from that, it was great. I had some friend there, one from Leh, and we all started drinking together. When it was finally time to leave, we got a spare couple of beers for the road and decided to ride on the roof off the bus. My first time travelling on the roof, and its heaps better for my bus sickness because you have to put effort in not to fall off.
It rained on us a little, but it wasnt cold at all. Once I got too tired we got back inside the bus where I fell asleep for most of the remainder of the trip. I was laying across the back seat with my legs over a cute Welsh guy.
So, all in all the afternoon was great. If it wasn’t for the expense (the last resort charges way, way, way too much to jump) and the hard walk back up I would have gone again. Actually, even if the staff had have asked how my jump was and if I was interested in doing a second jump I probably would have, but I wasn’t going to seek them out to help them rip me off again.
All in all, I highly recommend bungee jumping, just find somewhere better than the last resort to do it.
It has perked me up again, I have some excitement back.
