On the 7th of October we did it for the first time: we jumped out of a tiny little airplane. You can see that we were not as nervous as I expected. We were eating our sandwiches when all of a sudden Roy and I had to go first (while the others were almost exploding with enthousiasm and anticipation). We are dressing up and there are some instructions given (while we are hoping to remember them at the crucial moment).

Zipping up Getting dressed Roy is really paying attention

Then it's time to go! After a 15 minute flight (i.e. a short sleep for our instructors), we are securely tightened to our instructors. Before I can say goodbye, Roy has allready left the plane. And before I can get scared, I'm falling with enormous speed towards the earth. This is quite funny!

If you look very close, you might see the airplane Both of the parachutes opened! That's it for me. Roy is right above me. Landing time for Roy.
We did it! We've all survived and we loved it, as you can see at our smiling faces. Here are Silvie, Roy, Ricardo, Mara and Elena.
We are so happy!.
