Adrenaline Junkie: Take 2
So yesterday I warmed you up with the bungy jump while I was secretly still on a very huge adrenalin high. I still am for that matter, I've been grinning away and haven't stopped for anything. It might be because I jumped out of a plane at 14 000 feet. I sky dived! There is nothing like it in the world! The rush of the free fall, the views of the lazy glide into landing with the parachute safely out!
Yes I am never recovering from this one. I feel hugely proud of myself. Between it and the bungy I've had the biggest confidence booster, I feel really in control of myself and ready to face any challenges. So anyway, on to the photos!
Meet the plane that took me up! It just about fitted everyone in (other people were my instructed, camera man, another first timer with his instructor and two people jumping for the fun of it and the pilot of course!)
See the smile in this photo? Yup I wasn't scared, I swear! The instructors were permanently amused by our reactions.
I did enjoy the views from the plane while we climbed up high. At 3000 feet I did think we were more than high enough up! It was amazing how wrong I was. At the door I had to lean back like that but I did offer a prayer up to whoever is up there before I was pushed out of the plane!
The world did spin around on me first, it was better than a loop the loop on a rollercoaster!
And now comes the stream of the views of me and the facial expressions I pulled in the air!
Is that really me coming safely back towards earth?
Yup it is! This is me safe on the ground!
My one thought was again, again again!
