Coming to South Africa on a month long surf trip is always going to have it's adrenaline activities, but we here at Ticket to Ride like to take it one notch up the scale, and fit in as much as we can.??With a strong demand for both the bungee jump and the sky dive, we thought it would be a good idea to go for the golden double and do them both in the same day. Most normal people would see this as a money raising opportunity, but for our hardy bunch it was just another day in Africa. ??The Bloukrans bungee jump comes in at an ever impressive 216m, and is officially the World's Highest Commercial Bungee Jump. This is a daunting height however you look at it! The whispers around the campfire on the previous evenings were enough to put some of the group off but even with the TTRide Staff remaining 100% impartial we still had a solid attendance.??When you're standing on the bridge the nerves are always high as is the strong temptation to turn back, however there were no last minute drop outs, just a load of strong minds; all of whom have are treasuring the certificate, t-shirt, CD, and DVD combo upon completion (and deservedly so!)??Unfortunately blanket cloud cover meant that the Golden Combo was not possible, and the skydive has had to be postponed, but we've still got 48 hours left in Plett and are keen to make sure it happens! ??Seeing as we couldn't throw ourselves out of planes the appetite for some other adrenaline activity was still high. The group were thirsty to complete some sort of ultimate combo, and the chance to wrap an Albino Bermese Python around there necks fitted the bill. ??I am by no means alone in my fear of snakes, but as the great Steve Irwin always said "They're more afraid of us than we are of them" with this running through all of our minds we headed off to the local snake park, had a very educational tour and each of us held at least a couple of snakes, the most impressive of which was 3 metres long, and weiged in at around 40 kilo's. This certainly got the pulses pumping, and was a fantastic effort seeing as more than half of us have "official" snake phobia's.??We've obviously been taking to the waves, and enjoying the sunshine daily as per norm, and everyone's taking it to the next step in eager anticipation of the world class waves of Jeffreys Bay (we're off there on Friday afternoon.)??So with one fear faced today it's over and out from me, until next time.??L
