And were we ever! Robb and I did some tandem parasailing (not together! Each one of us was safely strapped to a pro, thank God) while in Switzerland last week. To say that this was breathtaking is to say that they have some good-sized hills in Switzerland. All we could say was, "Wow!!"
In effect, you jump off a cliff in the car-less Alpine village of Muerren, about 3500 ft above the valley floor so very, very far below. You glide silently in lazy circles, eventually coming down nice and softly. That last word is the operative one.
The views? Just like the credit card ad says: priceless!
I had done this once before in Germany, but never got more than 70 or 80 ft off the ground. Needless to say, that was not the case this time...
