Hi everyone,
Well since doing the bungy jump I decided to do a sky dive over the glaciers. We went down to the air field where they tried to persuade Liz to do one aswell but with no avail. They gave me a 10 minute talk about the process involved but i wasnt listening much as all i was thinking about was the drop. We got into a small sketchy plane, took off and flew along side the Glaciers, mount Cook and gave me a history and geography lesson on the glaciers. I had started to forget all about the jump as i was just amazed with the scenery. Then they gave me the run through the instructions. Then the door opens and I hung out the door way looking down 12,000 ft, the only thing keeping me in then plane is the man strapped to my back, thats when it hit me what i was actually doing. Then all I know is the next thing i was falling- one of the most incredible rushes of my life!!!! The views were awesome but it was all over so quickly and before i knew it the parachute was open and I was floating back to earth and reality.
It was an incredible rush and recommend it to everyone, if I persuade liz to do it i will definately do it again with her. We are set to do a full day glacier walk tomorrow, then a few cheap days to balance out all this excitement. Hope everyone is well and love hearing from you all.
Jack n Liz
