I Jumped Out of Airplane Today!!

How ridiculous is that!! It was crazy. So wild. I loved it. I free fell for 35 seconds at 220 km/hr, or 120 miles an hour and then spent about 6 mins in the parachute. It was marvelous. We took off in this tiny plane and did a 25 minute scenic tour around the dunes and coast and when we got to 10 000 feet I put my feet on the wheel outside the plane and thought to myself "what the f**k am I doing?!" I told my tandem master that I wanted him to spice it up a bit so we did a bunch of summer saults right out of the plane, wicked. And then I got to control the parachute as well, it s awesome when you pull hard on one side you go into this kind of free fall spinning action. So much fun. I was surprisingly not that scared. I went with 5 lovely ladies from my trip. We all had a blast. Had a nice ice cold Windhoek lager when all was said and done. I am so lucky to have had the opportunity to have done that. Brilliant!!

I'm very jealous. Not that I would ever actually do that... You look good in yellow. Miss you.
