The day started off with a gondola ride to the top of the mouton. I watched as Marla soared off on a para glider. I then proceeded to the land luge, and took a couple runs down the mouton. After grabbing a quick bite to eat. I parted ways with Marla and Chelsea and I headed out for the Nevis bungy point. We had to catch a bus to take us up the privately owned road. As we neared the top of the mouton I could smell the bus begin to stink if body oder, as everyone realized what they had gotten themselves into. After gearing up we took a small cable car out to the Nevis shack. You can really get to see a person’s true colors just before they are about to take 439 foot drop into a canyon. It seemed like it was the big talkers that really had the scared animal look in there eyes. After you leave the launch board you have a full six seconds of free fall to get to know yourself better. Nothing clears the mind like a near life experience. Afterwards we returned to Queenstown for a celebration drink. We ended up going a bar called Minus 5. It was my first time in an ice bar. Everything was made of Ice including the glasses. The entire room was adorned with elaborate ice sculptures and ice furniture. All in all, A fine day. Click here to see my Nevis drop.
