You may be wondering as to why I have not posted in a week or so. The reason is, I have been in Switzerland with a good friend, doing the worlds biggest bungee jump.

It may seem in some respects, and to some people, a waste of time, and money to fly to a foreign country for 8 seconds of freefall, however I kid you not, the exhilaration alone is worth every penny.

We flew directly into Geneva, where we spent 2 days. Here we met some interesting people, experienced to swiss bars, and smoked a bit of shisha (as you do). We then proceeded to get on a train to Locarno (Around 5 hours East). The train ticket cost £80GBP (there and back), however doing it this way still worked out significantly cheaper than flying direct to Locarno. We spent a day in Locarno, then did the bungee jump, and then returned to Geneva. It was awesome.

The worlds biggest bungee jump is at the Verzasca Dam, Locarno, Switzerland. It weighs in at a whopping 220m, boasting 8 seconds of freefall. I wanted to do this jump, as after doing the Nevis Bungee in NZ, I developed a bungee addiction.

I created four videos of our trip: one of each of our jumps, one of both our jumps, and one of a random squeeky man.
So you dont have to watch a whole minute of video, I will only embed the ‘both’ one, however the others can be seen at Clowestab on Youtube.

Now watching that video, you may be thinking that you have seen that before. That is because you have ! This is the most famous bungee in the world, after it was featured on 007 Goldeneye back in 1998. That is why it is called the Goldeneye jump. It is not very reassuring to hear before doing the jump, but sadly the stunt man who did the jump for Goldeneye actually died. None the less here is the video for your viewing pleasure.

So.. would you do it?
