Day 109 : Skydiving!


Went for a skydive in Wanaka it was amazing! One of the best things I've ever done.

The plane we went up in was tiny and had a corrugated plastic door. We were split into 2 groups and got to watch another group first, then went up with only one other “jumper” which was good not being in a queue of people jumping out of a plane! At 6000ft I thought that looked pretty high up! The views were incredible but hard to appreciate at the time. At 12000ft we jumped – thankfully when you jump you have to start with your head tilted back onto the instructors shoulder so you can’t look down (I had my eyes closed until I was out of the plane).

It was so amazing never had such an adrenaline rush – it was like flying and falling, it was something else! Even with the parachute open it was really scary and amazing and Wanaka is meant to be the most scenic place in the world to skydive (we didn’t get photos or a DVD because that cost almost the cost of the jump!).
