An Australian tourist bungee jumping in Africa plunged 365 feet into a river when her cord snapped, but she managed to swim to safety with a broken collarbone and her legs tied together.

Zibambwe Minister of tourism was quick to reassure the tourist that this was a one off accidents and bungee jumping is safer than many think. According to statistics the odds of an accident is 1 in 50,000. In this case the minister said the bungee jumping has been in operation in 10 years and 50,000 tourist take the plunge every year. If you do the maths, it was about time for a replacement!

The jump from the Victoria Falls Bridge is operated by Safari Par Excellence, whose website describes the bungee experience as “111 meters (365 feet) of pure Adrenalin!”

On September 17th, 2011 starting from 8.00 pm, Owl City will be rocking the stage at Le Bataclan,Paris, France .Tickets are available but are going really fast.You can purchase online.

Hotel Ritz Tripadvisor Review.

A traveller gave the following review after staying at the hotel Ritz :

This is a palace.The service was great.Everyone was very polite and helpful.Our room was like nothing I have ever seen.Great bathroom with separate shower,Marble fireplace,paintings that were great.A chandelier that was out of a movie.The room was very large.We ate in the dinning room and it was an experience.

1. You are to wear you swimming cap to avoid spreading hairs on the surface of the pool and clogging the filters.
2. You are to shower before getting in to the pool for hygiene purposes.
3. Avoid going there if you have a cold,cough,sore throat or any other diseases you might spread to people.
4. You are to avoid walking in shoes around the pool for hygiene purposes.

Before getting into the pool area you can always check at the entrance for a statement of approval by the City of Paris Health Department. (they take a sample of the water and analyse it at a State-approved laboratory. The results are displayed in the swimming pool entrance hall.)
