We did it... We stared FEAR straight in the eye and jumped out of a plane at 12000 feet! It was the most surreal thing we have EVER done, I cant describe the feeling as you fall out of the plane and free fall for 45 seconds (which went to fast yet so slow!). We arrived in Queenstown on Sunday following 2 fab days in. When we arrived we decided to go to the skydive place to enquire... they said they had a slot at 2.30pm that day so we thought what the hell l...
