Hello! I hope you had a great weekend. I WENT SKYDIVING!!! I am so excited! But I spose I should tell you everything else first. I’ve been in a hostel for the last few nights now so I’ve had much more time on the computer so more new photos J It is quite a nice change from all of the camping. On Sunday night we got to go to the botanical gardens and watch a live band and sip champagne. It was awesome, another gorgeous night in Wellington. Monday morning we got to sleep in and wake up to brunch and then have a bit of class and then a free day. My friend Kendra and I got some school work done and then walked around the city and shopped for the day. It was great! Early Tuesday morning we packed up everythingand got on the ferry to go to Nelson in the south island. The ferry ride was great, scenic, and beautiful. We then had about a 3 hour ride in the vans to our next hostel. The van ride was by far the worst. Extremely curvy, hilly, and rough. Many people already felt sick from the ferry but we all made it okay and did some homework when we arrived. That night we went to the cinema and saw Vicky Cristina Barcelona. Very good and unique movie. This morning we woke up and half the group went mountain biking (I get to go at 7 am tomorrow, mom and dad I decided to go after all. This could be interesting) and at noon we all left to go SKYDIVING! There were 19 of us and they only took us up 3 at a time. I didn’t end up going until second to last so the day got fairly long but it was the most incredible experience ever!!! I didn’t seem to be that nervous until I got into the plane. We were going to jump at 13,000 feet. By 5,000 feet I already thought we were too high. The guy I jumped with was great and he tried to distract me quite a bit on the waqy up (a twenty minute scenic plane ride). Before I knew it we were outta the plane and then back on the ground. It went so fast! It was the most beautiful scenery I have ever seen in my life and it was such an amazing day outside. I LOVED IT! Since we have been back everyone is quite tired and we are all laying kinda low tonight. We have another big day tomorrow starting with the mountain biking and then we have a wine tour through 3 vineyards and a brewery. I am excited. The following day we leave for Abel Tasman and begin camping again. I’ll keep you updated. Hope all is well at home. Stay warm.
Love you lots and miss you more
