Bungee Jumping, and plane ride over Victoria Falls

---

I had the time of my life in Victoria Falls. The weather was finally warmer, and there was so much to do.

I bungee jumped off the 3rd highest bungee jump in the world and I absolutely loved, loved, loved it! Leah and I tandem jumped together and people said we screamed the whole way down, bouncing back up and again, the whole way down again.

After the bungee jump, I did a tandem bridge swing. This is similar to bungee but you drop straight down off the bridge and swing like a pendulum. This swing was way more intense and faster than bungee. It was exhilarating! I enjoyed the swing more than bungee. Some say it is more scary than bungee jumping, but I think it's more FUN! Who knew I would enjoy this so much?

I bungee jumped before in Whistler and thought that was the scariest thing in the world. That is probably because I jumped at night into the pitch black unknown and only hearing the water below me. I would do this all again in a heartbeat!

I also went on a microlite flight over Victoria Falls. This was amazing to see the aerial view of the magnificent falls from the air. A microlite plane is like a motorized hang glider. It almost looks like a bike with wings. Just me and the pilot in the sky. The pilot did about five "bungees" for me. This is where he flew straight up, and then we free falled for about 4 seconds. This was the day before the bungee jump, so that got me revved up and excited for the jump. 😊

I am alive, safe and in one piece after all these adventures. I wish we were still there! so sad to leave Vic Falls. I loved everything about it.
