Ok, you´re gonna jump in 30 seconds!

After monteverde we went to Punteranas, we arrived at night time and since no busses went to the place we wanted to go we stayed a night here. This town is by far the most sketchy ive been in by night! We went out to get some dinner and check out the "carneval" - we were very confused when we got to this so called careval, it was one looooong street with all the same bars and discos which were completely empty! At points it felt like we were walking in circles because every 50m the same exact food stands and bars, in the same exact order started over again! The next morning we took the ferry and came back to montezuma, here we enjoyed one of our very last days in Costa Rica! At night we went to a little local party with loud music, a huge bonfire and the guests age differing from like 15-80! Haha! We spent the morning on the beach watching the sun rise, so peaceful, beautiful and nothing less but amazing! We had a wonderful breakfast and then we took the boat to Jáco to finish with a bang bu bungee jumping!!! The first glimpse of the bungee scene and i started to back out, we got to the little office and payed and signed some papers, i started reading "i hereby agree that i hold full responsability in case of any personal injury or death..." i quickly closed my eyes and signed the papers! Up we went in the little elevator, me freaking out and Eddie on the more calm side! Hence we decided, or they!, decided that i should go first - despite my many protests they took me out to the end and started putting all the gear on, i looked down and thought "This is were i am going to die" and all of a sudden he goes "Ok, Youre gonna jump in 30 seconds" and the other guys screams from the top of his lungs "thiiiiiiirrtyyy seeeeecondsss" they took me took the very edge and closed a little gate behind me, i just had enough space for my feet and the gate was touching my back, then i panicked "i cant do it, i dont want to!!" but little did it help and i heard " COUNTDOWN, 5,4 - i felt his hands on my back - 3, 2, 1!!!" and with a slight push i fell straight down, too scared to even scream!!! I saw the ground coming closer and then - bounce - back up again... and then i spread out my arms and screamed from the top of my lungs! Once i was out of the gear i realized what had just happened and i appreciated my life a tiny bit more! I watched Eddie as he jumped and it was looked so crazy that i had a hard time believing that i just did that!!! We went to San José and spent our last night, before going seperate ways in the morning - Eddie back to NY and i continuing my adventures in Ecuador!!!!
