My acrophobia at its edge

New Zealand is an adventure gateway, for those who love adventurous activities such as – parasailing, hiking, skiing, and snowboarding and many more. If you want thrilling and exciting adventure holiday trip, must visit New Zealand.

The most popular attraction of New Zealand is Bungee Jumping. I have phobia of heights, so I decided not to go for bungee jumping. But inside I was feeling I should try this, I should experience this. And then finally I decided to go for it!

I reached at Auckland Bridge; I walked towards the bridge along with one guide crossing a gate, which was covered in barbed wire. I saw downwards from the bridge and I got scared. All I was thinking was jumping from such height hooked up with long stretchy rope and that was terrifying. Stupid things were coming to mind – what if the rope breaks? What if I fall down? What if I die? Really there is nothing more thrilling than having sweaty palms and butterflies soaring in your stomach as you stare over the edge.

The guide was telling me few things about bungee jumping; such as when you reached to certain height that rope is meant for springing you up like a ball. I was scared already and that guide was scaring me even more. Really it was terrifying, jumping from 190 feet above the river. The guide, tied all the stretchy ropes on my body, and he shouted – three, two, one and jump!! I closed my eyes and jumped off… I was in the air… hanging… really it was a free fall…

After few minutes, I opened my eyes and that was a fabulous thing I ever had done. I was hanging in the air, above the water. I was taking views over the water and in few minutes, the crew of bungee jumping team started pulling me up. Though the return ride was not that amazing, but I was glad that I was on bridge – safe, alive!!
So if you are ready for challenge and you have convinced yourself for the jump, just go there and experience bungee jumping. Bungee jumping will take your breath away!!
