Scuse My While I Kiss the Sky
Sky diving truly is a wonderful trip. But it is nothing like I would have thought. Looking back on the whole adventure it seems really surreal. When I think about it it almost seems like a dream.
As we fly up to 12000 fee the first few jumpers go and then we climb up to 14000 feet and the rest of us start going. I was a little nervous but nothing much. As it came for my time to go I got strapped to my jumper and we got the the door of the plane.
As we jump you first have a sudden rush of adrenalin. But then it is over come with an almost euphoric sense of calmness. During the 65 second free fall, reaching speeds of about 200km/h, I could see for miles. To make things better the our jump was late in the day so as I went down I got the watch the sun set in the distance. Then finally we landed on the beach and a giant X.
Sky diving is a miraculous trips that everyone one has to try at least once. But if you really want a great big adrenalin rush you have to go bungy jumping.
Yesterday on my way up to Cairns I got to stop and try the bungy jump. Never before had I experienced such a big rush. After my head was spinning just a little. But again not that scared. (I know my of you think I am bullshitting you) To quote the people that work there "Wow, you look unnaturally calm." I guess I was never born with that all important instinct that keeps of from doing really stupid and risky things. Any one that really know me I think would agree.
Anyways I loved it some much that I will be heading back there some time this week to do as many bungy jumps as I can from 9am to 4pm, for only 50 dollars.
As for the rest of the week I will be trying to find a good dive company and then go diving for a few days and fly off to Japan.
The 31st is going to be the longest days I my life. My first flight is at 6am from Cairns and then I touch down in Tokyo 7:30am on the first. But you see the trick is my flight path is Cairns to Brisbane to Singapore to Tokyo. Its going to be a great day. (^_^)
