Day4: Queenstown and Skydiving through the Remarkables
This was by far one of the coolest days! We walked around town in the morning until 11:30 when it was time for our big jump with NZone! We were driven outside of the city for about twenty minutes to the jumping station in between the Remarkable Mountains. I was paired with Colin (my skymaster!) and before we knew it Andrea, Hannah and I were strapped in and in the tiniest little plane you could imagine. We were each basically sitting on each other. I was the last one in, which meant I was the first one out of the plane. I can not explain to you how excited I was. I thought I was gonna be terrified, but I could not stop smiling. Of course the initial jump was a huge rush and then it just felt like I was flying! At 12,000 feet I had 45 seconds of freefall and then I think only a minute or two floating down to the ground. There was not a cloud in the sky and it was just so quiet up there you could not imagine how peaceful it actually was. I loved it!
Once my jump was over, someone at the front desk came out and said my pictures turned out so well they wanted to put them in the newspaper and that if I said yes to an interview I could pick out a free shirt! I was super excited and the next day picked up two copies! I've never been in the newspaper before=)
They done put me in the newspaper!

They told us to do the banana position when we jumped...clearly could not think straight

Happy this happened... but was oddly not worried
