Bloukrans Bridge holds the worlds highest bungee jump at 216metres. Today it was our turn to experience it.
Arriving at the site we got ourselves kitted up, harness tightly secured. Our guide walked us over to the jump site. On route to the jump site we walked over a caged walk way seeing 400 meters below, making the experience even more intense. Once we arrived at the center of the bridge loud Dub Step and Drum&Bass was playing to calm our nerves! Schalk, myself and the other three that were with us, were given our jump order numbers, I was jumper number 2
Jumper number 1 sat down strapped in and was ready to Jump! My turn!
Butterflies flying around franticly in my stomach, my feet tied together, straps tied to my harness. This was it. I stood up with the help of the guides and hopped to the edge of the bridge, feet peering over, head up and arms out. 3.2.1. BUNGEE!!!!

Falling 216m listing to the wind screaming past your ears and the view was mind blowing. Waiting for the bungee cord to tighten, made those butterflies disappear, what a relief! The first bounce, then the second, followed by a lesser third. Spent 30 seconds dangling upside down waiting for guide to come and pick me. Up I went, standing at the top with all the blood rushing to my brain I lost my balance and was walking around like a drunk man, finally got myself back together!
