101 Things to Do... Part Seven
1) Learn to do the trapeze
The ultimate in balancing skill; the trapeze is something on a few people can do. Mastering this art will make you look very acrobatic indeed.
2) Stand at the top of Ayers Rock
Ayers Rock, or the Uluru as it's also known, is one of the most rock formations in Australia. Climbing it is currently allowed, although it is frowned upon by the local spiritual tribes. There are also government plans to close the path, meaning that the chance to do this may not be open for too much longer.
3) Do a bungee jump
Conquer your fears and take a dive off a cliff, bridge or crane. Bungee jumping is one of those things that, although scares the hell out of most people, those that have done it say it is one of the best experiences they have ever had.
4) Stroke a lion cub
Probably one of the cutest animals to exist, lion cubs are really soft and cuddly creatures, at least while they are young anyway. Grab the chance, if you can – it's unlikely you'll be able to get so close to a full-grown lion!
5) See the World Cup final
An event that only happens once every four years, and you're lucky if it's even in the same continent! Finding a ticket to the World Cup final is a dream for most sports fans, and should be snapped up if you ever get the opportunity.
6) Eat a meal in every continent of the world
Experiencing different cultures starts with eating local foods and dishes. Travelling to every continent, including the North and South America, Asia, Australasia, and other parts of Europe is a definite must.
7) Go for a picnic in the woods
Pack a hamper full of your favourite food and find a quiet spot in the woods for a real get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
8) Research your family tree
Find out where you are from by researching your family tree. Those who do this usually end up discovering a lot about themselves their ancestors and some even find they have long lost relatives.
9) Sit in a hot spring pool in Iceland
Getting undressed in the freezing cold isn't really to everyone's tastes. However, sitting in a hot spring pool is meant to be very enjoyable when you actually take the plunge.
10) Send a message in a bottle
You don't need to be stuck on a desert island to send a message in a bottle. You never know, putting a message out to sea may even eventually get to someone in a faraway place.
