Ali's Travels
Fan..Bloody....Tastic.....
I almost pee'd my pants, jumping off the side of hill/mountain is not humanly natural...........really its not!
We got picked up in town and drivn out of town so we over looked the Urabamba River, it was only Ben and I that were paragliding today, I didn't want to go first, so naturally I went first...........
Put my helmet on, knee pads etc.... not that thats going to protect you for the earth plumeting towards at stupid mile an hour if something goes wrong but hey, it looked good!!!!!!!!! NOT!
Got strapped into Richard, who was the instructor, breifed on what I had do, which was "run.......run....run....." Ok I can remember that!
Then we waited and waited and waited...............and waited......a life time!
Then it was go, go, go.......run......run........run and then we were flying! I was up in the air for about 20mins. Richard said I could take some photo's, I tried I really did but I was so nervous I could stop my hands from shaking! After about 15mins, I began to feel a little queezy! I think it was because we turning alot on the descent!
Anyway, I wasn't sick, and we landed safe a sound..........would I do it......most definately NOT! Although I will be jumping out of plane in NZ!!!!!
Great day, awesome experience!
