NZ Trip Day 11 & 12 - Jet boating, helicopter, rafting and skydiving!

Spent a lot of money in Queenstown~

Jet boating~
Traveling over 70km/h on water, the feeling of speed was just great! The jet boat can turn very quickly, and even do a 360 spin on the water~ ha
The driver was so professional, he can drive very close to the rock without hitting it~
No photos, well coz it's not allowed~ Anyway, must try once in a life, but once is enough~ XD


Helicopter~
A short ride (too short) to the starting point of rafting, which took like 5 min only. Much stable then I thought... best moment was when the helicopter descend to the valley, and made a sharp turn which created some G-Force on us. Wuhoo~ A bit headache but it's cool~! ha~


Rafting~
My first raft in my life, really fun and easy actually...haha~ It took like 1 and a half hour to reach the end, not many falls in between~ Start getting fun after we passed 70% of the route... Well....Definitely will try other river if I can~ Same, no photos~


Skydive~
YYYYYYYYYYuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
HHHHHHHHHHHHhoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


It's just awesome! GREAT! AMAZING!
The whole procedure is just so simple.
Paid for it at the shop, sign those agreements, short briefing, go to the airfield, dress up, another briefing, jump on the plane, take off, climb to 15,000 feet, door open, jump out, scare for 5 seconds, enjoy 40 seconds, deploy parachute, fly around for few minutes and land, that's it!

The most scary thing is the moment you try to imagine how scary it is, and the first 5 seconds only. Other than that, you'll enjoy it.
It's so cold at the 15,000 ft, but luckily it didn't last for long~
You can actually heard the one before you screaming after they jump off the plane.
When you jump off the plane, you need to hold your head and leg backward, which they said, imagine yourself as a banana.
My Tandem Master has done a very very good job~ After the parachute deployed, she done a few sharp turn which create a lot of positive G-Force on us~ And that was so COOL!
The camera man did a great job too~ Beautiful photos~!
The free fall doesn't feel like 60 second long, and I want more~ :p

ok....let's stop bull shit~ Photos time!!!


From Skydive



I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.

I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.

And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.

Only I will remain.

Don't trust the guy who told you that I have a lot of savings!Every one in the world, except you, are worrying about their wealth due to the "Skydiving economy without parachute" Anyway, continue to enjoy your trip!
