Road Trip in NZ! Day 8

in #travel7 years ago

Day 8. Remember how we missed skydiving back at the glaciers. We finally got to do ours in Queenstown with NZone. See how she's beaming, she's honestly not beaming inside. Jumping with NZone somehow gives you some assurance. The setup is good. The appearance of their equipment assures you that maintenance is done properly. And it also seems that they keep a very close watch on the weather. If the weather is bad, no jump means no jump.

Sneak preview while waiting. Just makes things worse... makes you more anxious, especially when it's your first time.

Before I end of today's post, I did ask myself, between skydiving and bungy jumping, which is scarier?
Of course it's bungy jumping. Why? When it's tandem skydiving, you are not the one jumping, the tandem master is.... =)
