Bloukrans Bridge is home to the world’s highest bungy jump (bungee/bungie/however-you-want-to-spell-it) at 216 metres. Whilst Squiffy had no intention to jump, H and I were both rather more open to the idea. Until we saw it. For me, a bungy jump represents the final word in adrenalin sports so I’m kind of a little disappointed in myself for not having a go. At least my mother would be happy that I didn’t do it. We only saw one jump, and it looked pretty interesting (read: frightening).

Look carefully in the first photo below — about half way across the bridge is a pick-up truck; that will give you much-needed idea of the scale of this thing! Also, there’s a video of some other fella’s jump below the photo gallery; unfortunately, like a nonce, I filmed the whole thing in portrait, so you’ll have to turn your monitor of your head on its side to watch…

So who’s gonna come over and jump with me next time? (And I’m definitely coming back to South Africa — I love it here.)
