Oh my god! I cant believe i actually did it, yep, i threw myself out of a plane at 15000 ft! And its one of, if not the best thing ive ever done! It was so cool!  Everyone ive spoken to told me i just had to do a skydive so i decided to just go for it and do the highest one you can do! We turned up at the skydive place and within 10 minutes of arriving i was on this tiny little plane heading up wondering what the hell i was doing! Its a good job i didnt really have much time to think about it and get too scared cos i might not have done it! My tandem guy turned up (late cos he was winning his game of hangman...filled me with confidence!) and i got in my suit and got on the plane. It really hit home when we stopped at 12000 ft to drop some people. The dorrs opened and out they dropped within about 5 seconds! Then i got scared! They gave us oxygen on the way up to 15000 which was nice! I was second to last so had to watch everyone else go first. I must have looked so scared cos just as we were about to go my instructor asked me if i just wanted to go back down in the plane..how eveil was it to say that to me..i was just like no just jump quickly! So we balanced on the edge of the plane and out we fell..as quick as that! The first few seconds you just dont have a clue whats going on..i think i remember seeing the plane going away from me tho and thinking that it wasnt right! That first fall is just incredible, your just rolling about through the air and i was screaming and laughing like a crazy woman! When the instructor taps you on the shoulder you can put your arms and legs out and it really is like your flying. You know your falling cos of all the air rushing past you..its so noisey, but it doesnt really feel like your falling cos of all the pessure acting up on you, its kinda just like the ground is moving up to you. Its crazy cos if you look away from the ground for just a second when you look back its scarily closer! You fall 3000ft every 15 seconds! My mouth was open cos i was screaming and laughing but i couldnt even close it cos of all the pressure, it was so wierd...i loved every second of it tho, it wasnt really scary at all once you made that first jump out the plane!
When the guy pulled the parachute it was really wierd, you go from complete noisey madness to complete calm (except for me screaming oh my god thats the best thing ive ever done!). Anyway when i shut up it was so still and the views were amazing..lakes, volcanoes, mountains and it was so quiet. The guy was doing spins and stuff with the parachute too. I was so annoyed when i saw the land getting closer..i so wasnt ready to go down! When i did land i was jumping up and down like mad! The adrenaline rush is amazing, i've still got a massive smile from it! Cant really believe i did it but im so glad i did..i think everyone should do it at least once!Â
Anyway, i have loads more to tell you, walked over active volcanoes yesterday which was amazing, but im running out of time so i'll have to tell you later!
Love love love xxx
