This was the most adventurous day of my entire life.
This entire blog entry is from the same day. It started early in the morning around 8:00am.
My friend Tim and I decided to go on a cliff jumping tour! We walked down to the meeting place and met our Thai guide. We took a long boat out from the beach and drove a good 20 minutes out to the side of the island to find the perfect spot.
We anchored out boat in the water and jumped in. The interesting thing about this cliff jumping was that we had to do a bit of climbing to get up first, it was a little difficult as the water pushed you into the rocks at the bottom, but the climbing wasn’t all that bad.
We started off with a relatively easy 8 meter jump into the water. 8 meters (26 feet) was a little scary but Tim and I managed to do it without much trouble. Next was a 11 meter (36 feet) jump. This one was a little harder because the ground that we stood on before jumping was so uneven and rocky, you basically had to balance with both feet on a different level on very thin rocks. Next was the 15 meter (49 feet) jump. This one was really scary. It took me a little bit to build up the courage for this one, and I was quite hesitant to do it. Eventually I took the plunge, I didn’t hit the water perfectly straight and it felt like I got punched in the eye but I was okay. Before climbing up again Tim and I discussed the next jump in the water. We both had trouble doing the 15 meters so going even higher didn’t seem very appealing to us. We decided we would go up there and take a look and then decide.
The next jump was the final one and it was massive! It was a full 20 meters. (65.6 feet) Even the ripples in the water looked tiny from that height. Our guide told us not to jump if we didn’t think we could do it. After debating it for a while, Tim decided to go for it. From my viewpoint it took him forever to hit the water. When he surfaced he was laughing but in a lot of pain, he had sacked himself. He warned me...
