Aaaaaahhhh..... Skydive!!

---

Today was jump day!!

We woke up at the crack of dawn not knowing what to expect! After a safetly briefing and harness check we were in the plane ascending to 14,000ft with no chance to back out! At this point Paul realised what he had gotten himself into and was starting to feel nervous where as Rachel could not stop grinning (wait till you see the DVD).

Rach was the first to jump and Paul was first to land. We travelled over 200kph (approx 140mph) on the free fall which lasted over 60 seconds, it seemed much longer! Once the parachute was deployed we were able to admire the Great Barrier Reef below us! Rachel's instructor let her fly the parachute, he clearly didn't know what she's like! We landed safely on Mission Beach. (You can relax now Mum's and Dad's... until the next one!)

We both agreed it was on of the best things we have ever done! Such an amazing experience. Stunning views!
