Bungee Jumping over the Corinthian Canal!

Last Saturday, I travelled to Corinth, Greece, with a group of 12 college friends, to go bungee jumping! Below is a picture of the narrow Corinthian Canal that I jumped into! Scary looking, huh?!
I was the third person in our group to jump. I was so excited (I have been planning on bungee jumping in Corinth since I heard about it this summer). Below is a picture of the bungee instructor strapping me all in and instructing me on how to jump. He said I needed to jump far out and not feet first. One last picture with the instructors before I took off...
Here I am on the edge, about to jump. I wasn't too nervous, just extremely excited. Everyone counted down: 5, 4, 3, 2, 1....Here I am.... flying in mid air! I did a big swan dive all the way down! It was surreal and happened so quickly. The next thing I knew, I was hanging upside down, finished.I couldn't stop smiling as they brought me back up - the adrenaline rush was overwhelming and I was so proud of myself!
It was totally worth it and it didn't make me feel sick like I thought it would. What a once-in-a-lifetime thing to jump over the Corinthian Canal! I definitely recommend it and would do it again in a heartbeat!!
