SKYDIVING!!

After getting cancelled last weekend due to weather, I finally got my chance to skydive. After we were suited up I was told I would be the lucky one who got to be thrown out of the plane first. Yay! When we got to the plane it was literally the tiniest thing I’ve ever seen, it was quiet the squeeze up to 9,000 feet, which took about 20 minutes. There was no training sessions for this either. My tandem guide just told me that once the door of the plane opened, I had to wrap my feet around the edge of the plane, hold on to my harness, and lean my head back against his shoulders. When he finally pushed us out of the plane, we were in free fall for about a minute. It was so much fun! Once he opened the parachute, we just glided through the sky. The view of Cape Town and Table Mountain from up there was magnificent. Definitely want to do it again!
