This Guys Parisian Adventure is making me Giddy!

I’ve never had a head for heights and many years ago actually went round the top of Plymouth Hoe lighthouse on my hands and knees! Just the thought of it makes me go giddy to be honest so when I came across an article today about James Kingston’s latest adventure I was giddy as! I’d struggle to go up in the lift let alone climb without any ropes or safety equipment.
James Kingston is a British ‘freerunner’ and blogger and he freely admits he used to be terrified of heights. Two years ago he dangled himself from a crane in Southampton and has since climbed a number of structures including chimneys in Germany, cranes in India and the Wembley Arch.
The Eiffel Tower had been a goal for him for quite a while and he and his partner planned to buy tickets to enter the tower and then climb from the stairwell however, they realised there would be too many people around so they climbed the entire structure from the outside.
They started the climb uneventfully but were soon spotted by security guards which almost prevented them from reaching the top, however they did make it just before sunrise. Once they were both safely down on terra firma they were promptly arrested, handcuffed and taken to the local police station from where they were finally released without charge, although Kingston did have to promise not to climb again for 3 years before they could be released.
Free climbing up a structure such as the Eiffel Tower, or just a ladder for fun is something I just cannot comprehend, it fills me with dread but obviously some people find it a thrill. I struggled going ‘To the Top’ when I was in Dubai and that was on the inside of the Burj Khalifa, I couldn’t go anywhere close to the glass screens to admire the view.
There may be those of you who are thrill-seekers and enjoy the more active shore excursions when you are cruising but for me the more gentle approach is just perfect, nothing to extreme.
What is the most thrilling excursion you have ever done, and would you do it again?

For now Happy Cruising Folks!
