A really special treat for us was coming across a paragliding take-off point. The winds were not very good so they were spending a lot of time sitting waiting for the right wind. As a result we got to talk to some of them for a while and learn a lot about the sport. I think if I ever take up an "extreme sport" this is the one! I'd take that over flying/bungee jumping/skydiving anyday! Unfortunately I don't think there is anywhere nearby and convenient to take classes. Maybe an impetus for another solo vacation? :)
