When I came down to breakfast, Todd managed to work out a bungee jump this morning!!! Our jump was scheduled for 1:00pm. Kyra and I went for a nice walk around Lauterbrunen to kill time until then.
The bungee people picked us up from our hotel in this van thing and drove us up the mountain to the bungee place. The jump was 280 feet above the water. Melanie was so brave and jumped first. Next was Ruthie, then Kyra (who was so scared to jump! We were all so proud!) then Todd, then me! I did not want to jump last. But I had to because they needed to change the rope to fit my weight.
When it was my turn to walk off the platform I made the worst mistake by looking down. I knew the longer I waited to jump the worst I would feel. So I had the bungee guy count down from 5 and I jumped out on 1. At first I felt free and flying, but then I dropped. It felt crazy! Then I spun out of control on the rebound. And the blood rushed into my head. But it was so awesome though, I would totally do it again. It would be a lot less scarier the second time.
Melanie wins the best friend award because she ran barefoot up to our bungee spot to film me. I'm so grateful for a friend like her. She got this amazing video of me!
We're back at the hotel now. Getting ready to load up the bus for Zurich. The Marriott in Zurich overbooked their hotel so they paid for us to stay in the five star Hilton instead! I'm so excited!
The bungee place where we jumped is at the top. Zoom in ad you can see it. Ignore my finger in the way of the picture.
