we settled for huge burgers and carbonara at The Fat Dog cafe!

my instructor eric! he is super tall!

my life is in his hands!

heading to the plane. it is really not big. we set off with 7 pax including myself and its packed the the brim alr!

one step closer! look at the teeth!! im flying in a monster! ha..

that's mich! im the one seated inside!

i guess i flew out of the sky like a speck of dust! im e one with red parachute! as u can see, my instructor is superbly tall and big which means that i got a uber sonic speed freefall! its even scarier than my bungy can!! midway thru e free fall i was freezing! but the scenery is tsk tsk tsk. mo dak deng!

alr landed! i dun know y e colour looks gloomy, but the weather on that day is great! clear nice blue sky with pure white cuddly clouds!

to sum up,
sky diving is one of a kind!
i will do it again and again!!
the adrenaline rush is to max!!
whee!!
one tick off my bucket list!
that's michy's instuctor! he is on a super 'hello hello' mode! v funny fellow!

anw, we spent the nite at a backpackers' hostel! its a long story but we managed to book e sky dive thru them and get the accomodation for free! i was on upper bunk and they are so annoying! kicking me from below!

its a 12-man dorm and there's only 1 other couple with us!

we even have a balcony!

Hot Rocks Rutorua!
