Sky diving

While in Nelson, I had the opportunity to skydive.  I tandem skydived with James, a local and experienced jumper who knew the scenery of Abel Tasman National Park very well.  He skydived over 6,000 times before we jumped out of the plane from 16,500 feet in the air.  The nerves did not set in until I was at the edge of the plane ready to start the free fall.  The 75 seconds of free fall felt like an eternity full of adrenaline.  Floating down over Nelson and Abel Tasman National Park was exhilarating!
