Freefall into parrydise.............. This was just the best adrenalin rush ever and when I eventually got my breath back I screamed my head off!!! 15,000 feet with a 45 second free fall...it felt like forever....amazing! Thanks to Nath I got 100 dollars off for being a Queenstown resident... not exactly...but Nath was so I went under her name.

Arrived into Dunedin for the weekend after the long and beautiful drive around the Catlins, looked up a friend (Wassella) who I had met in Port Wiakato the Xmas before and so glad I did...I had so much fun with her and her friend Tony, walked (Just about) the worlds steepest hill, got to see penguins only a few inches away from me, stumbled across some grumpy sea lions on Dunedin Peninsula and managed to get a night out in and around the Octagon where it was all happening.
