Skydiving!

Here are some pictures from my skydiving adventure at Lake Taupo! I jumped from 15,000 which is the highest commercially in the world and it was amazing! The free fall at 200 k/h lasted for about 65 seconds and was the best feeling the world! The weather was gorgeous and I could see the Ruahine Mountain range and Mount Tongariro and Ruapehu as well as the entirety of the lake as I fell. My instructor was a guy from Brazil and really awesome and chill, he helped me through the whole process and made me feel really safe. The parachute was deployed at 5,000 feet and we just cruised down for about 5-7 minutes and I got to steer the parachute. And of course I have plenty of pictures and a video to prove I did it!
