Well firstly guys.....
I JUMPED OUT OF AN AEROPLANE AT 15,000 FEET AND FREE FELL FOR 1.05 MINUTES!!!Bet you never thought you'd hear that!!
Can't believe it myself! was DEAD against the idea of sky diviing, or even being more than 3 foot off the ground, then everyone else was talking about it and i thought.... i'm going to regret not doing this, so i did!!
So scary, so surreal, i was so nervous as we had to wait from 3pm till about 6pm before we jumped, there were 5 of us in our plane and we all got DVD's so we had the guy attached to us, and a video camera man too each, so we got to 12000feet and all got given oxygen - to help us breath! panick time, then they open the glass door and before i know it the first two girls are out and my guy is pushing me to the door!!
so i looked up, and remembered to smile at the camera before i jumed and then closed my nouth as apparently if you jump opened mouth you get air in your lungs and feel a bit like you can't breath at first! that would be the last thing on my mind but hey, so then we get pushed out and i fall towards earth! apparently you can see the curviture of the earth at that height - i wasn't looking!
so as i fell a did my swimming pose, my superman pose, and the camera man films you for your whole fall until you release your parachute, then once we land we wait a few minutes and get the dvd of us all doing it, its really funny!
my camera man saw i was nervous so started blowing kisses at me, but you can't see him doing it, just me doing it back! so i look a tad cocky!
ah man, so once we landed and watched the dvd i had a good cry! then at ngiht once i'd called home,and craig, and my bro had called me, i had a MASSIVE cry...today the adrenalin has calmed a bit, although Lynne and i sat in the common room and watched the DVD again....i can't believe i did it, and i can feel it in my tummy and see it happen again and again, and because it was so late in teh day the sun was a nice light, over lake taupo, it was so cool! but i WILL NOT be doing it again!
Anyway....
i also went black water rafting yesterday, where you get into wet suites, with hard hats and lights on your head and head into the caves at Waitimo in pitch black and in water, witha rubber ring, and partly walk, partly wade, and mostly float through the caves, jumping backwards off little waterfalls with the tube jammed onto your bum and into little pools, all pitch black except our headlamps, and then we had to join up like a catterpiller all 12 of us and switch our lights off and they pulled us through a big part and the roof way above us was full of glow worms, it was like a magical sky, SO cool!!!!
So then after that we got free soup and a bageal, yummy!
So what else have i done....you realise i'm speaking so much i might just copy and paste ths to my blog!
the ngiht before last we went to a waterfall...we had to hike there in bikkini's and bare foot - but it was a free activity for once!
so we climbed down this hill and the mud came up to our knees! and eventually got to the river, climbed across it - i have ltos of cuts on my feet, and then jumped into the waterfall pool. was a great laugh, but then we had to climb back up, and most bits were so steep that lynee and i had come down onour bums, so to get up we all had to help each other and pull on branches etc and the muscls on and around my arm as so achy now! but great fun.. photo's for that are on ym waterproof camra though so you'll have to wait.
right, just been introduced to picasa at this internet place, its really good and they're v helpful, so i'm going to run home and get my sky dive pics so you guys believe me, and up load those, too, but all my pics are on face book!
