Seen this mad Jet boat when on holiday, desperate for a ride in one of those, however I have seen ones that go down rivers instead of on the sea so that sounds more interesting and dangerous.
Quite fancy another shot on a jet ski, just as a side issue.

Parachute from teh hot air baloon
Seperate from the previous post, why not jump out a baloon, that would be a rush.
Parascending and Submarining - Completed
Some may argue that this should go on the bucket list as I have added it and completed it all in the same post.
But, i didnt realise that I wanted to do either until well I seen them.
So as I was on holiday, I just went and did them on the spur of the moment.
Paracsending, Im not sure what made this good, maybe it was that I did it with my 12 year old adrenalin junkie daughter abbie. It felt pretty good up there, but it was all very calm and peacfull, I was expecting a rush, but it wasnt, it was more serene. Wasnt looking forward to the landing but it was smooth as silk. Abbie and I got to go up together which was pretty good and the speedboat ride was awesome.
A german guy was next and the spanish guys dunked him in the water a few times which was really funny.
Submarining, not something I had planned to be on my bucket list, but it was really good.
It was your typical holiday outing but I have to say that both the kids and I really enjoyed it.
It went down about 25 meters and we were down there for about an hour.

El Caminito del Rey
This item has been stolen from my dads bucket list, the man is crazy but considering he has not ever been abroad, I cant see him actually doing it, so ive decided to pinch it
Aparentlyg El Caminito del Rey can be translated into english as The Kings Pathway and was built in between 1901 - 1905 to aid workers cross between two falls located in malaga spain.
he walkway has now gone many years without maintenance, and is in a highly deteriorated and dangerous state. It is one meter (3 feet) in width, and is over 200 meters (700 feet) above the river. Nearly all of the path has no handrail. Some parts of the concrete walkway have completely collapsed and all that is remaining is the steel beam originally in place to hold it up and the wire that follows most the path. One can latch onto the wire to keep from falling. Many people have lost their lives on the walkway in recent years. After four people died in two accidents in 1999 and 2000, the local government closed the entrances; however, adventurous tourists still find their way into the walkway.

Speedboats and Harbours
I would really like to own a speedboat and a place overlooking a harbour or a loch
Im not a greedy person, so a little rib with a nice big engine on the back would do just fine.
I feel drawn to the water somehow, im not sure why. I can swim but not amazingly and Im not to keen in being under water.
But when it comes to being on the water, thats a different story

Although I have previously done a parachute jump, i really fancy doing a weeks skydiving course in Spain or somewhere equally nice weatherd.
I want to own a kit car
Second thing on the bucket list is that I want a proper kit car or I would settle for a sports car.

Climb Machu Pichu
Definately on my bucket list, seen a brochure ages ago for Kea adventure holidays and decided that machu pichu looked ace.
Actually had forgotten all about it but today at work a friend had come back after 6 months travelling and reminded me about it.
I had at the time emailed her and wished her luck for her road the world trip and told her that one day I wanted to climb machu pichu.
Anyways, she can came back to work today and asked me if I had done it yet.
So its the first thing on the bucket list.
