I wanted to start the final year of my twenties a little bit differently…

So what better way to start the countdown to my thirties than by running off a mountain?

What an amazing experience! Definitely one worthy of its own blog post to follow.

There is no better feeling for me than flying, I love it. I also love trying new things..

My American friend, Rob, did a countdown to his 30th. 30 things he wanted to do before turning 30. I’d like to do something similar, perhaps this year can be my year of firsts?

Paragliding was definitely a great way to begin.

Of course my first meal as a 29 year old had to be one of my favourites. We dined at Toscana Ristorante Italiano.

In the evening we headed for a sunset cruise. Another experience I absolutely will be writing about as I can’t recommend it enough.

What a perfect way to end my birthday.

Of course let’s not forget to mention the birthday kiss I got off a parrot and the present he left all down my leg!!

There really is a first time for everything..
