As soon as we stepped out onto the beach, everyone fell silent and sat down on their own along the beach. It was if we all understood that this place was too special for words. It's not far from Te Anau in the south-west part of New Zealand's south island. It's a must see! http://beta.theconch.com/content/images/lake-manapouri-new-zealand-123 Wed, 29 Aug 2007 21:51:00 GMT http://beta.theconch.com/content/images/lake-manapouri-new-zealand-123#812947add95954ed0d0f9a086ade8638 After jumping the 134m Nevis Highwire bungy that afternoon, I thought I'd never feel fear again. That evening, I found out I was wrong. The Ledge is only a 47m drop, but it starts 400m above ground. You can do any jump you want, front flips, back flips you name it. This is a flying squirrel. http://beta.theconch.com/content/images/ledge-bungy-queenstown-124 Wed, 29 Aug 2007 22:00:59 GMT http://beta.theconch.com/content/images/ledge-bungy-queenstown-124#c49ee9eae67dab3afc352998feb36ea9 This would look like such a fearless photo if it weren't for the vice-like grip holding on to the side. 134m drop - 8 whole seconds of freefall and 1 big achievement. http://beta.theconch.com/content/images/nevis-bungy-queenstown-nz-128 Tue, 11 Sep 2007 13:00:43 GMT http://beta.theconch.com/content/images/nevis-bungy-queenstown-nz-128#66598c47f9e4775acbc653f5dcb304de For all those brave souls who poked fear in the eye in a cable car 134m above the Nevis River, Queenstown. http://beta.theconch.com/member/group/i-jumped-the-nevis-highwire-bungy-in-queenstown-nz-13 http://beta.theconch.com/member/group/i-jumped-the-nevis-highwire-bungy-in-queenstown-nz-13 down under and a little to the left lies a little sliverof paradise.  Who wants to retire there when we're older? http://beta.theconch.com/member/group/i-love-nz-14 http://beta.theconch.com/member/group/i-love-nz-14
