The bravest of the group, Olga, Cat, Brad, Tim and Myself got on the truck to surrounding jungle and looked up at the 50m crane we were going to bungie off.

Okay, i'm not the best on heights so needless to say i was shit scared about jumping off the crane. As you can see.

I wish i could have taken a picture from the top, it really was fantastic. You could see dark clouds in the high hills in the horizon and see the thousands of palm trees below.
But i didn't have time to admire the surroundings, and that's not what i was there for.

Are you ready?
No, not yet.
Then i started getting that horrible feeling in my gut and i knew if i didn't jump i wasn't ever going to be able to do it. So i jumped.
You get this crazy feeling that can only be described as "oh shit, i'm going to die, i'm going to die!". Then you bounce up, tense up and experience zero gravity. It was really fun, but also kind of uncomfortable hanging upside down. Oh and i didn't half crap my pants when i felt the roap slip a little. Though it was natural for it to do that and i wasn't in danger.
For my troubles, i got a certificate and t-shirt and then a stiff drink with the rest.

On the way back we experienced what i think was the first monsoon rain of our trip. Man, does that rain come down. It's no wonder Thailand can suffer from flash floods. It was sunny before, what happened?

That evening we went out drinking at an open air jamaican club in Chiang Mai (apparently the Thai people love Bob Marley, the whole rastafarian culture gels really well with them). Hmm, to be honest i can't actually remember what we did the next day. That's a worry. Ahh, i do remember we left for our 3 day trek into the jungle.
