Taupo: Har hoppa i fallskjerm OG strekk!

semi-overcast 16 °C

Jepp, ae har endelig gjort det! (English version just under this)

Hoppa i fallskjerm igaar. Du e oppe i et fly 12 000 fot (ca. 3,5 km) over bakken ogsaa baere hoppa du ut! Va heilt sykt! (Ka slags sykt menneske fant opp det forresten??) Kunne ikkje stopp aa smil, og da vi aapna opp fallskjermen bynnte ae baere aa flir. Va i fritt fall i ca 45 sek, og den farta du dett i e heilt ufattelig!

Naar det gjeld strekkhoppet va det litt meir blanda foelelsa. Ae har fremdeles litt hoeydeskrekk, og maa innroem at ae ikkje va saa vaeldi hoeg paa paera der ae satt aa venta paa aa hopp. Plattformen ae hoppa fra e 47 meter over Waitako river, det hoeyeste strekkhoppet i New Zealand der du faktisk doeppa hodet i vannet naar du "landa". Et heilt sykt adrenalinrush! Har video av det og greier; baade foer hoppet (ae sett baere aa lura paa ka i fan ae har begjedd mae ut paa) og selve hoppet (mye hyling :).

Men ja, saa nu har ae gjort de 2 hovedtingan ae kom hit foerr (mamma, e du ikkje stolt? ;b), saa ae e klar foerr Fiji, flyg dit paa tirsdag! Sol, strand, dykking og kava - blir konge! (spess sia ae har prestert aa bli forkjoelt!)

Taupo: Bungy and skydive!!

sunny 16 °C

Yes!! I've done both! Was unreal! Did the skydiving yesterday, 12 000 feet and you're jumping out of the plane. (What kind of insane person invented that by the way??) Couldn't stop smiling while we were falling, and when we unleashed the parachute (is that correct spelling? Doubt it, but whatever! :p) I just laughed! Amazing..

Did a Bungy Jump today. Was shit scared, so that was more of a adrenalin rush. Got it on DVD, me screaming. :) The platform was 47 meters above the Waikato river, and you actually dip your head in the river when you "land".

So yeah, now I've done the 2 things I came here for, so I'm ready for Fiji. Flying there on tuesday; Sun, beach, diving and kava - here I come!

Now, I promise, I'll upload some pics! :D

Stay crazy!

Auckland

sunny 23 °C

Yep, I've left Australia. Feels weird knowing that I'm not going back, at least for a while. Kinda sad, indeed.

Staying in Auckland for at least another day, but I'm gonna book a tour or something asap so I can get around and see more of the country. Maybe go bungy jumping, maybe sky diving, you never know. It's all about time and money, the same old crap!

Anyway, gonna try to upload some photos from Great Ocean Road etc as soon as I can find a computer that actually allows you to connect stuff to it. So annoying!
