Okay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so annie and ellie recommended that i did my sky dive over frans josef well fox glacier in new zealand on the west coast!!!!! I knew i wanted to do one on this trip but wasn't sure where but they suggested here as its amazing views and new zelaand is really good for it!!!!!!!!!
So Monday 29th October 2007 i wake up at Lake Manihapua with a massive hang over well still drunk really and we hear that a few of us can go and do our sky dives straight away!!!!!!! so we had to rush to pack our bags up and get dressed and jump in a 4x4 to drive 2 hours to get to the glaciers!!! so 6 of us were going in the morning, me, daria, osnat, gaby, lorcan and paul!!!!!
totally fucking scarey mad shit, the night before was dress up night and we all dressed up for a competeition, i went as a leopard!!!!! the competeition then turned into who could wear there outfits for the longest!!!!! so i pretty much slept in my outfit!!!!!! i wanted to win lol!!!! so i was stil pretty much half dressed up as a leoaprd and
lorcan was still pretty much fully dressed up as a humper lumpar!!!!! so the 6 of u s got in the 4x4 with the guy from the sky diving company!!!!
we drove 2 hours from lake manihapua to fox glacier which is just past frans josef glacier ready to do our dives!!!! we went through stages of being nervous and not being nervous, a pretty mental thign to be doing really madness yer lets jump opiut of planes how funny with a parachute on our backs cor who invented that!!!!!!
so we got to the skydiving companies site around 11.30am, s company is quite a small laid back company, not all proper and formal more firendly and chileld which was really cool. All the people who work there and sky dive were really cool and chilled out and nice!!!!! An oldish guy called Rod owned it, another guy called Rod dives, a younger guy called james who was englisdh and a girl called emily who was fairly youngish, plus carol and damo working there so all cool!!!! they were really nice and made the day extra nice and special as so friendly and chatty n cool!!!!
we
had a quick briefing on what we'd have to do fairly simple really ha haaaaaaaaaaaa!!!! yer jus get ina tiny tin can, go up 12,000ft in the air, wearing a sexy outfit n harness, then cooly sit on the edge of a plane, then fall out, do a bannana shape and put ur hands out n scream!!!!! then land carefully lol!!!!!
so we were all briefed, we didnt go first as we were having dvds done, i was going up with daria my norweigan friend!!!!! osnat and gaby went first, my dutch and israely friends we been sharing a room for last few nights we're the international room!!!!! then lorcan and paul two english guys went next!!!
i was amazing cool and calm on the ground was pretty weird, think i was still drunk ha ha and dressed as a leopard lol!!!!!
finally the time came about 1pm monday afternoon, the weather was pretty sweet not quite as clear n sunny as i wanted but still good, we crammed into the tiny tin canplane and took offf!!!!
fuck you cant even imagine this shit!!!!! so off we go up in the air!!! get to 2000ft n
im getting pretty scared , lookign down looks massive!!!!!! looks so high n scarey, i didnt majorly like it until we suddenly went up and through the clouds!!!!! o my god this is awesoem above the clouds up in the sky about to jump out of a tin can with soem old man attached to me ha haaaaaa!!!!! seemed to take quite a while to get up to 12,000ft, didnt go to wuickly which was good, it was amazingly awesoem n beautiful above the clouds, moutn cook the tallest mountain in new zeland was poking up out of the clouds.....so coool......the sky was perfect blue, clouds amazingly bubbly, and the moutnians and the glacier below us looked so good!!!!! i loved it!!!!!!
finally reached 12,000ft, had a tiny brief, hat and googles on and fuck door open!!!!! quick sit on the edge of a bloody plane, few photos n fuck we were gone!!!!!!! cant even explain that shit man!!!!! falling out of a plane at 12,000 ft free falling at 120 mph for 45 seconds!!!!! was totally unreal, awesome, wicked, madness most insane thing ive ever done, the free fall was so fucking good!!!!! so fast!!!! so mad!!!!! so
abnormal!!!!!!! then we popped thru the clouds n the parachute gets pulled!!!!!!
woooooooooooo it slows down, ears pop and suddenly you can see loads n apprecitate loads!!!!!! how cool, goes nice n slow now and quietly!!! goggles off and camera out for photos how good!!!!!!
slowly down now, winding, can see daria and the ocean, mountains, lakes, river, galcier n green fields and tiny sheep!!!!
we had to aim for a red arrow n car on the ground and fly down to a mump bum landing!!!!
how good!!!!!
so cool!!!!
so much fun!!!!
maddest thing ive ever done!!!!!
want to do it again!!!!!!!
fucking wicked!!!!!
so good would do it again now if i had enough money!!!!!
