Tasha on her travels
AGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH today ihad the most incredible two minutes of my life bar none! i jumped 12,000 ft out of a plane, freefalling at 200km/h for 45 seconds and it was amazing to say the least, i feel like ivebeen reborn!!! it was quite an effort tho...
first of all taupo at 50 quid a jump was by far cheapest so spent two days there tryuing to jump, yesterday i spent 9 hours at the airport on call! oh and i went up in the plane and stood on the edge 2x and still didnt get to jump cos of weather! one guy had been skydiving 25 yrs and had never experienced such bad luck in one group....hmmmmm god are you trying to tell me not to jump???? so anyway the second time up to make up for our disspointment the pilot decided to fly most of the way upside down and hurtling towards the ground, all the tandem masters reckoned that was even better than freefall! my heart was literally in my mouth and the g force was incredible!
so anyway back to today, after much an i mean much deliberating i decided to pay twice the price (thanks to mum and dad for agreeng to pay for me to jump out of plane as my bday prezzie!) in rotorura rather than risk it again!! so i arrived and was the only one jumping! this time they actually went through some safety with me which they didnt at other (hmm wonder why it was so cheap??!!) and i was cool as a cucumber! although i declined a dvd the guy wanted some footage for promotions so i got filmed whole way, so there we were at 12,000 ft and i still was ridiculously calm, the guy even said hes never seen someone so chillled! then we jumped.....wooooooow! it was literally the best thing and i cant even begin to explain it! its such an unnatural thing to do and after freefalling for 45 secs the chute opened and we werer just gliding along, it was so quite and serene, i felt like i was in another world! so yeah basically now im walking around with a fat stupid grin on my face!
the afternoon was less adrenaline packed as we treated ourselves to a natural mud bath and spa, im silky smooth now! got to run, i need to go chill out glowing in the fact that today i reached terminal velocity!!! xxxxxxx
