Jumping out of a plane!!!

hello

how are you all? It is Sunday 4th February, My last weekend in Zambia, awww!
Yesterday i jumped 8000 feet from an aeroplane over Zambia-what a wonderful feeling-i could quite easi8ly take it up as a hobby (Joke Mum) although i am sure i will do it again. You are taken up in a little aeroplane with no door and you are attached to the instructor, he is called Gary and originally from Southport. It takes about 20 minutes to get to 8000 feet and all the way up i kept thinking, can't do this, can't do this, but then at 8000 feet you can't see anything just cloud, Gary asked me to put my feet out of the plane, this is unbelievably easy but at this point you are dangling out of the plane, head and feet back so you are curled like a banana and then you go. Free fall lasts about 20 seconds and the the parachute opens and you are taken back up. It is such a fantastic feeling, you feel so light and the view is amazing. I have a dvd with it on, definately one of my best personal achievements.

Tomorrow i am going over to the Zimbabwe side of Victoria falls to start the Lion Project although i may arrange to come back here for a few days at some point. Not sure what internet services are like over there but hopefully will still be able to keep you up to date with everything.

Lots of Love
