Jump then Fall

Hey Ya'll!

Remember a wee bit back I shared with ya the falls I went to? Well I was able to go back and jump off them..... multiple times :) Plus get pictures aka proof of me doing it! I like to think of it as building up to bungie jumping or skydiving.... or so I like to think.

Anywho getting up to the the jumping off point was.... interesting. There was minor wall scaling involved, which I did successfully :) Then you walk up a short incline and you have arrived pretty easy peasy! It was quite the rush jumping off, there is just enough time between jumping and landing in the water where you have a oh man what was I thinking adrenaline pumping moment. Then you plummet into the cold water and take the long swim back (or so it feels that way) just to jump off again. Pretty refreshing and awakening!

I DID IT!

Had to snap this while in the backseat! 

All in all it was a lovely day to jump off and as always I greatly enjoyed the views.  It still amazes me how you can be out driving and see scenery like above then turn off and walk a bit and you feel like you are in a rain forest.  It's pretty grand! I cannot wait till the weather warms back up so I can jump off some more! Have ya'll ever jumped off of any waterfalls?

The Falls

Hey Ya'll!

In case you did not know New Zealand is home to some amazing waterfalls and I wanted to share one of them with ya'll. This is Waimarama Falls.  It's close to Waimarama beach and if you can find it (roads are not well marked here to say the least) the short walk up to the falls is filled with lush scenery. I stopped every few feet to snap a picture.  Self control does not happen in New Zealand in case you were wondering :)

There were lots of people in the water swimming and jumping off a rope.  I unfortunately didn't swim nor jump and I really need to go back and do this :) It will be my mini step in order to possibly bunny jump in Queenstown.....baby steps right? :)
