Nevis Highwire Bungy, Queenstown, New Zealand



Soon I'm standing up and shuffling to the edge of the tiny platform with the bungy rope at my feet, which feels like a ball and chain. I cling to the bungy master's arm as there's nothing to hold on to and look straight ahead.

There's no time to think. '3-2-1 go' she says and my mind goes blank. I plummet down towards the rocks completely forgetting my James Bond-style leap. I remember nothing during the 8.5 second freefall. My mind is completely free.
