Have you ever dreamed that you were falling from a plane...? Freaky, isn't it?
The best way to stop the nightmares is to fight the fear!

So far the most amazing experience of our trip, it's hard to explain, can't find the words...
unreal, awesome, wonderful, rush of adrenaline through your entire body...

Guy, Caro and I did the big jump, tandem skydive, height 14,000 feet (approx 3,300 meters), 60 seconds of free fall, 5 minutes flying with the chute, and the landing on the beach.

A bit of stress before the jump (more or less depending on the person!), few words from our crazy instructors: when we jump, put your arms across your chest, your head back and bend your knees; once in the air, tap tap on the shoulder and you open your arms; we'll practice the landing in the air... if you say so!!!
A 20 minute flight in a tiny plane with no door, a lot of time to think... But when it's time to jump, no time to think, you have to be quick not to miss the spot otherwise you can be in trouble. And there we are, jumping out of the plane, wouhhhhh!!!!

Free fall, you can't breath, it goes to fast, don't have time to realize what's happening, then the chute opens, and the silence... you're floating in the air with this amazing view over the beaches, welcome to the sky!!!

The landing? Easy, put your hands behind your knees and lift your legs up... And here we are back on Earth...

Skydive, the craziest thing we've done so far, it's definitely worth it, we recommend it to everybody. We'll do it again soon, that's for sure!
