Today I got up at 7:00 am and was picked up by the van at 7:45 am. 🙂 This time I knew that I would jump, because the sky looked just blue and the wind was calm. 🙂 So I put on my really sexy jumpsuit and all my equipment (oxygen mask, helmet, gloves and glasses) 🙂

Then I met my jump instructor. He was called Boris and I had already met him yesterday and had a good conversation with him about what it is like to be a skydive instructor. 🙂 I felt very safe and happy when I entered the plane. 🙂

 

 

On the way to the plane I had a short interview with my cameraman and a small talk with Boris. 🙂 After the plane had taken off I enjoyed a really nice view of the scenery beyond me ( sun was shining, some beautiful clouds) and after ten minutes we were at 9000 ft. high. I had to pull over my oxygen mask. At 10.000 ft. the first skydivers had to jump out of the plane. 🙂 It was funny to watch them fall out of the plane and I had another interview with my cameraman. 🙂 At 12.000 ft we stopped again and some more jumped out of the plane. 🙂

I was the only skydiver left in the plane because my jump was from 15.000 ft and from second to second I got more nervous. Boris strapped me to himself and I sat on his laps. Then we reached 15.000 ft, Boris, the cameraman and I did a HiFi-interview and took some photos and then I had to go to the edge of the plane and had to sit down. 🙂

I thought that this would be the hardest seconds but I felt pretty safe and really wanted to jump. 🙂 So Boris and I jumped after a crazy picture.

The first minute was just awesome. 🙂 60 seconds of freefalling through clouds, the earth getting closer and enjoying the most beautiful view I’ve ever seen. 🙂

.

During my freefall my eyes began to get wet and my mouth was trembling because of the 200 kpH high speed. 🙂 It was really hard to breath and in some seconds I didn’t only have pressure on my ears but also had the feeling of being unable to breathe at all. :/ But I enjoyed the fascinating view and had really much fun with Boris who entertained me by some funny stuff on our  way down. 🙂 It was like riding a rollercoaster, I was so light and free, it was just amazing. 🙂 Then Boris opened the parachute and a wonderful lovely feeling returned to my stomach, I was drifting through the air, enjoying the view and finally knowing, that everything went all right. 🙂

 

Then Boris said „Let’s do some crazy stuff“ and so we were floating through the air, in circles, getting faster and closer to the ground. 🙂 I enjoyed the adrenaline rushing through my body and craved for more. 😛 Before we landed I had to lift up my feet, and  then Boris landed us safely on the ground. 🙂

 

I thanked him for this really great experience and that he has saved my life. 😛 Then I went back to the lounge – happy of just having been through the skydive of my life – where the lovely skydive assistents were waiting for me and where I could watch my video. 🙂

 

 

In the video you can see  that I really enjoyed the view… I almost never looked straight into the camera but to the ground which was coming closer (probably that was more important for me than looking good )

 

 

 

At  about one o’clock Lars Tim and I continued our roadtrip to Haast. There we relaxed on the beach and had some lunch. Then we went on to the Fox Glacier. We arrived there after a short drive and after  a short walk ( 1,1 km) we enjoyed an awesome view.

 

Then we drove to the Franz Josef Glacier and there again we enjoyed a spectacular view of the glacier. It’s just fascinating,  that this is a glacier from the iceage.
