Memorable moments

They say "Age Ain't Nothing but a Number", but in my younger days I would have literally done anything to win a bet. I once jumped of Dreunkkrans in Hermanus(21m high) for a dinner in the Spur. Only when I hit the water I realised that it was a stupid thing to do. Any case, hit the water with my legs in a horizontal position and spent the rest of the December holidays with purple and yellow legs. In my 20's I had a 500cc Honda road bike and my mother's nerves were shot for a year. A friend crashed it for me, probably a good thing..

Nowadays I am scared of horse riding and getting on a bike is even worse. Can it be age? Do any of you also have these symptoms?

While going through some "old" photo's, I stumbled upon some of my memorable "daredevil" days pics:

In the lion's den - Sun City. The "cubs" were three months old

Touching elephants in Knysna

Bridge jumping- yes that's me flying through the air


Paris 2006 -Yes, went all the way up, but today I'm scared of heights!

Must say: Will still touch lions and elephants, but Bridge Jumping, NEVER again!

Are you still a daredevil and what crazy things have you done?

    I used to touch snakes when I was a little one, then, all of a sudden I developed this intensely hug phobia of them. Can't even look at one on TV. Bridge jumping, hectic! Well done :)

    Now that I'm loosing weight, I want to do stuff like this. Have not done anything like this before. Maybe that's why I want to do it nowadays.

    So it’s not just in my head. I find that I have become overly cautious with age. Where I once bungee jumped at Victoria Falls (then the highest in the world), did a bridge swing at Gourits and was a WP Rock climber, I am now terrified of heights. We did Leeukop the other day and I completely freaked out at the chains part. Same with swimming, ankle deep, nothing more.
