Kirsty's Travels
Oh my gosh!!!! I did a sky dive on saturday!!!! It was the most awesome thing EVER! Des, crystal and i got the bus to Taupo on saturday morning checked into this awesome hostel in the middle of the town and then the Taupo Tandem Skydiving came and picked us up and took us to the airfield. There we met our instructors. Mine was a swedish guy called Patrick who was lovely and immediately put me at ease. Well a little bit anyway! We got kitted out in these oh so sexy jump suits and harnesses and then we were good to go! The plane ride was about twenty minutes and it was very cosy as there were a fair few people plus instructors jumping. We reached 12000ft and it was time! I was the last one out of the plane and because im in the minimum weight catagory i got the longest jump! I watched everyone else jumping out and then it was my turn!!! They say on the count of three smile for the camera and then a split second later you are out of the plane and in the air!!!!! I have my exit photo and it will be on my website shortly! It was so so so fantastic. At first its just crazy cos you are free falling for the first 5000ft! Then the parachute is let out and everything is so still and calm and its just beautiful. We had a view of the largest lake in New Zealand and mountains and my gosh i was blown away! I got to take control of the parachute and we did spins and dives etc. I have to say to you all that if you ever get the opportunity to do it go for it! Im still buzzing from it now (two days later!) I also got a DVD of it which is ace. Its got great music to it and it introduces us all and shows the entire process of it all so i have the evidence!
Anyways just wanted to tell you all about that. I finish work here on thurs (Yay!) And then the following tues im heading bk to Auckland. Not quite sure what im gonna be doing over the weekend but there are loadsa parties going on so i have plenty of options!
