Falling at 200km per hour

Yesterday I scored a deal and took to the skies over Taupo in a miniature plane. I did a sky dive from 15000 feet and it was one of the most exhilarating yet peaceful experiences of my life. 60 seconds of freefall that seemed to go so fast yet so slow. It was the most beautiful day with only a few clouds so I could see from Mt Taranaki to Mt Ruapehu to Napier on the East coast... incredible! Lake Taupo was shimmering in all her glory and the skydive instructor I was strapped to gave me the reigns of the parachute for a few twists and turns at around 4000 feet.

I would recommend the jump for any thrill seeker, Taupo gives amazing scenery and the team at Taupo Tandem Skydiving were a good bunch.
