From there we set off on three days of adventures.<\/p>\n
Adventure #1 \u2013 Bungee Jumping off Bloukrans Bridge<\/span><\/h2>\nI had been bungee jumping in Bali \u2013 at a nightclub, at 2am, off a 60 meter ledge over a\u00a0pool.\u00a0 Bloukrans Bridge is 216 meters high.\u00a0 It\u2019s the highest natural bungee jump in the world. I couldn\u2019t wait.\u00a0 Toby, not so much, but he wasn\u2019t going to say no to an adventure.\u00a0 Once we arrived to Face Adrenalin<\/a> they weighed us, we signed our lives away and then we could watch the jumpers before us from a distance, or up close on a TV screen in the little caf\u00e9.\u00a0 I felt the anticipation start to build more and more.<\/p>\n![\"IMG_2327\"](\"http:\/\/asideofsunsets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_2327-300x225.jpg\")
Bloukrans Bridge – 216m bungee<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nOnce it was our turn about 20 of us walked out to the middle of the bridge.\u00a0 They have music blasting and the staff is awesome.\u00a0 The jump order went from either heaviest or lightest, alternating between the two until you ended up in the middle of the group.\u00a0 They asked who wanted to go first.\u00a0 I hesitated.\u00a0 The heaviest guy went first which gave me just enough time to really get my heart beating out of my chest.<\/p>\n
A few minutes later my ankles were strapped and they were carrying me out to the edge of the ledge.\u00a0 1, 2, 3\u2026FLY!\u00a0 It was absolutely incredible (except perhaps the biggest wedgie that occurred as they hoisted me back up to the bridge) and I can\u2019t wait to do it again whenever we make it to Queenstown, New Zealand!<\/p>\n
Adventure #2 \u2013 Oudtshoorn<\/span><\/h2>\n![\"IMG_2364\"](\"http:\/\/asideofsunsets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_2364-e1463458252482-225x300.jpg\")
Cheetah Cubs at Cango Wildlife Reserve<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThe ostrich capital of the world.\u00a0 Yup.\u00a0 That\u2019s a thing.\u00a0 We had heard about this place from Toby\u2019s friend whose wedding we would be attending later that week.\u00a0 When I found out you could actually ride an ostrich it seemed only natural that we make our way there.<\/p>\n
Our first stop was actually the Cango Wildlife Ranch<\/a> where we were able to play with cheetah cubs.\u00a0 As a lover of all cat-family animals I was in love.\u00a0 The rest of the ranch was set up like a small zoo \u2013 with peacocks, meerkats, crocodiles and turtles as a handful of other animals you could check out along the way.<\/p>\nAfter our cheetah experience we headed over to the Cango Ostrich Farm<\/a> where I was able to ride an ostrich.\u00a0 They blindfold them to make it easier for you to get on, you hold it by the wings and then it takes off around the corral before I was gently dragged off to safety.\u00a0 To this day I think it is one of the highlights of my trip \u2013 for all of my friends and family.<\/p>\nAdventure #3 \u2013 Walking with Lions<\/span><\/h2>\n
