Did we skydive? Yes we certainly did! :)

"Hiya, here's the ticket, thanks." Birte says to the girls that are packing our parachutes. She continues: "What's your name?" One of the girls replies: "I'm Sophie" and the other one then replies "And I'm Amy". Birte smiles and says: "So, you're both called Amy?! Okay :)" Well, you can't get everything right in one day! Bless. We have had an awsome day, all three of us have passed our Level 1 and Level 2. First jump is so intens, we are stowed in a plane which is 1 meter broad and about 2.5 meter long. Everyone sitting really close together, some on a small bench and the rest on the floor by our feet. Then at 15 000 feet the door is opened and the plane is set on jump location. We see people in the plane getting ready to jump. One second they're there, the next they're gone. When ready we stand in the doorway - both our feet on a small step outside the door. Check in, check out, up, down and then you jump from the plane sideways with as much determination as possible. Then it is all about getting stability in the air whilst the wind and the noise tells you this is complete madness. Then checking altitude and performing tasks. At 6000 feet your eyes are fixed on the altimeter whilst pressing the body, legs and arm in stabile position. At 5 500 feet you press, reach and you pull. Then counting, feeling a slight jerk - looking up and with a smile say outloud "Fly!". If the parachute does not fly after 5 seconds then it is "No fly" and standard emergency procedure. We flew :) Freefalling was amazing, but flying was also truly amazing. And a whole lot easier than anticipated. On the Level two we had more tasks, not just dummy pulls - but also turns and forward flying.
