Heyhey!

Lol....last few weeks found me in County Offaly, somewhere in Ireland la...hehe

What was I doing there?

Jumping down at 9000ft, and going sky diving! hehe!!!

A boost in adrenaline!

But then hor.... I think Solero Shot gives more weird feelings in the stomach than the sky diving lor....

My reasoning behind it -->

Solero is a vertical fall. Sky diving has me falling on my belly.

So less g-force on my stomach? I think. hehe.

Ks thought I wouldn't dare go...lol...

I thought I wouldn't either...muahaha...

Went in the end.

Didn't freak out like I thought I would.

Didn't curse out vulgarities at the top of my voice like I thought I would.

Didn't scream my lungs out like I thought I would.

But the scenery at 9000ft was breathtaking...

Imagine blue skies, with the bright sun and a carpet of white clouds...

The plane ride up to the heavens above was 15min...

About 45 seconds of free fall, and I think from top to bottom was around 10-15 min.

Was given 'some' control of the parachute, which was damn hard to manoeuvre...

The wind was strong, and it kept blowing into my mouth.

It was rather cloudy that day, so maybe it wasn't that scary. Lol.

Everything looked miniscule. Nice.

My friend nearly landed on cowdung. I landed nicely on my butt. Hehe.

Oh...We jumped with instructors attached to us...

Pictures -->





The jumpers of the day. In our suits.

In the small little plane.

That's me! hehe.



Our certs! hhehhe...


My instructor and me.

Lol...sky diving was fun! Parachuting was nice also!

Well, that's bout it, gtg...

Take care!

Whoa!! You go, girl! XD Congrats on the cert. Sounds like lots of fun =P

Anywayz, one thing I'm jealous about though: how on Earth did you manage to find the time to go skydiving?!! I can't even find the time to get a bloody haircut, lolz!!

P.S.: Here's a question that's always left me wondering: is it true that the Irish love the colour green?

Lol! Sorry la hp...I towards the end ony remembered to state that we jumped with an instructor...But it's still as scary okay! hehe...And its 320 euros per jump with an instructor.Not sure individual jump how much though.

To kenn...thanks. Lol...I went during the public holiday for Ireland. One day holiday.A bank holiday or something like that. And yes...Irish loves the colour green.Their souvenir shops are all green in colour mostly with the 3 leaf clovers which I THINK they call shamrocks.
