Last Stop

Yebo! We are actually at our last stop in Cape Town! I have had the most amazing time during the past few days. Yesterday morning we woke up very early to get to the bungee jumping site! I am so surprised that I wasn't even nervous during the car ride. I had an excellent run in the morning on the shores of the Indian Ocean in Port Elizabeth---so the bungee jumping didn't even phase me until I actually got up on the bridge. It starts out with a bridge walk where you're basically walking underneath the bridge in order to get to the middle. On this bridge walk, you're walking on a meshy metal that is completely see-through! You can see all the way down to the very bottom. This is the only place that we were allowed to look down before the jump. Then we got to the platform that we were going to jump off of. There were a lot of guys there (the staff people) and they played loud music, I think to get us relaxed. There were 11 of us from the group jumping. When it was my turn to jump, I just had the biggest smile on my face the whole time. They yell "5-4-3-2-1 BUNGEE!" and then you're off! It is the most incredible feeling in the world. I would do it 100 times again. When the bungee part is over, you just sort of hang there for awhile...while all of the blood rushes to your head! The first thing I said to the guy who pulled me up was "my head hurts!" Anyway, enough of that. You all should do it.

From there, we headed to Tsitsikamma National Park. This place is absolutely beautiful. We got there before dark and I took lots of pictures of the ocean and huge rocks which I will post on here soon. This morning we woke up really early to go for a hike. It was pretty long and treacherous, but awesome. At the end, there was an amazing waterfall.

After the hike, we had a long drive to Cape Town, which is where we are now. We got here only a few hours ago, so I haven't had time to look around the town. We are here until Friday and then we're home! Time has gone so fast. I'm not sure I'm ready to leave this amazing place.
