nz part nine

shall keep this short, time's abit tight here
Practising how to jump before the actual skydive at Abel Tasman, Nelson.. where's jy looking?? lol.. everyone looks like a mechanic in that jumpsuit..until you notice the silly cap and the flipflops on some of us hahaa


The area where the parachutes were packed and equipment laid out before and after skydiving



The skydive plane we all took to ascend to 13,000 feet. Notice the opening at the side of the plane, yup that's where we leapt off from subsequently, but not before waving at the camera placed quite intelligently on the adjacent plane wing.




The spiralled landing



Girls and their skydive instructors after a wicked experience heh

nz part eight


view from atop the kawarau bridge(bungy)... 43m down only but feels like 100m eh? lol


kawarau bridge bungy..admire the blue waters below..so niceee



Someone jumping off the bridge


Canyon swing at queenstown.. some curly-haired angmoh guy doing "the chair" jump. There was a whole range of different jump methods you could choose from. The "chair" involved getting yourself strapped to a plastic chair and being pushed off the ledge into the raging canyons down below. Supposedly not as scary as bungy..because ultimately most of your body is strapped securely to this cable thing unlike bungy where your only point of connection is via the rope around your legs. When I've saved up enough money I shall go back and take up the bungy challenge man!!!! hehhh NZ is the place to do bungy!!



CC doing the very brave dustbin stunt LOL.. The people in charge(those in blue) sort of pulled a fast one on her, making her take steps backwards towards the ledge when she couldn't freaking see because her head was engulfed by that gigantic garbage can. She just kept backing not realising that she was being tricked to the edge, when whe finally stepped backwards into air, then it was AAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!*muffled scream because of the dustbin lol* all the way down.



swinging about in the canyons below after the initial free fall





view of the canyon swing venue. Where in Singapore can you see such absolutely wicked scenery??






Very rainy day ..but the showers did nothing to diminish any of the breathtaking view.
