And I’m Free - Free Fallin’

Wednesday, February 27th, 2008 @ 6:04 pm | Travel

Yes, just like Tom Petty (and the Heartbreakers) today I was free falling!I’m in Franz Josef, on the beautiful West Coast of New Zealand. It’s truly, truly gob-smackingly beautiful here.

The internet connection here is a bit rubbish to say the least, so I can’t upload all me photos, but here’s a couple to keep you going.

I will say that Sky diving was worth every bit of the $299 Kiwi dollars (about £130) that I paid for it. I’m built for free fall, so I managed to build up some head of speed to say the least. Really awesome.

Got loads to say, but my head is just buzzing with adrenaline, so I’ll type it all up later. I’m off to do a glacier hike tomorrow (as you do) and then I’m down to Queenstown where I’m really cacking it about having to do a bungee jump!

Take care for now

      Hooray! It’s good to see the Hyde shirt getting some exposure. I think you extend the Australian Supporters’ Club branch to 3…

      Anyway, fancing giving me a link to http://music-maps.com? It’s going pretty well seeing as it’s only been up for 3 weeks now. Any suggestions, let me know!

      Ta!
