Day 158: One more jump, one more jump..
Queenstown to Lake Tekapo
After chatting and snapping with the local reporter, we eagerly jumped back on board Martha for the next adventure on Stage 6. Domination Queenstown was almost complete. We’d jumped, fallen, propelled, jet boated, and sweated. We stared death in the face, and survived. There was just one more bridge to hurl ourselves off…
The Kawarau Bridge became the world’s first commercial bungy site in 1988 and a trip to the adrenalin capital is not complete without ticking off the original. At 43 metres it doesn’t have the same fear factor as the Nevis, or the health risk of the Ferg, but what it does have is bus loads of photo hungry tourists and a need for style. Kate B was on official camera duty as the rest of Team Extreme harnessed up and got in line to put on a bungy domination workshop. A couple of perfect swan dives and crazy backwards pin drops later and we hit the road, FTFE – 1, Queenstown – 0.
