1… 2… 3… BUNGEE!!

Apologies for the completely barren blog, I’ve been very lazy recently, but had a big day yesterday, so lots to write about!

The day started with an Secondary 1 lesson at St James’ where I was teaching all about relative density. For those of you not aware, relative density (Sometimes abbreviated to R.D) is equal to the density of a substance divided by the density of water! Its a way of calculating density more accurately without loss of accuracy due to volume measurements.

Afterwards I headed back to the guesthouse to prepare myself for what I’d agreed to last week. A bungee jump over the Nile. The main reason for doing it this Wednesday was that it was Joe’s birthday, and the very beginning of the celebrations.

We pulled names out of the hat to decide who jumped in what order and was pulled last, which meant I was assigned official photographer for everyone else’s jump…

The Bungee point!

First on the list was Joe and Dom who decided to go together

Next up was Miles and Sophie also doing a tandem!

Sophie felt a lot more nervous about it than Miles.

And down they go!

And onto the boat they go…

Next up was Rachel

Getting excited!

 

I had to pinch this picture because I failed to

focus properly for mine

 

Next up was Tom!

Excited or nervous?

 

Here we go!!!!

Down down down down!

Tom definitely got the most wet!

Next up is Olivia!

Possibly the most nervous bungeer, partly thanks to

the creepy comments from the safety guide!

Off she goes!

And Jennie…

Looking excited!

BUNGEEEEEEEE!!

Off she goes!

Ollie’s up next with a topless jump!

Getting ready!

Going right into it!

Penultimate bungee is Marianne!

And finally, its me! You may notice a distinct difference in my technique to everyone else’s though…

The nervous old man

Notice that I have the same pose, but this

time my feet aren’t on the wood

and down I go, feet first, which meant that when the bungee got too short, I flipped over!

Luckily though, even with flips and dunks and splashes we all escaped unscathed, although I’m not sure if I’ll do a bungee again.
