... support of this event. Once I'd agree on that I was given my onesie and I was so happy to see it again. I put it on straight away and one of the girls showed me around. We waited around 45 minutes and in that time I was harnessed and had an interview for my handicam video. We were called to our instructors and my guy was called Mikey and he was awesome. Been skydiving since he was 17 and he's now 31 so that's a good sign. He harnessed me a bit more and we got in the plane. The ...

We turned around and came back to the resort. We had lots of sunshine again ...

... on the road again and heading towards Mount Taranaki. A quick stop in Wanganui for supplies we parked up just south of Taranaki, in Waverly but no sign of the famous cone shaped volcano which dominates the west coast. I'd say it's worth checking this thing out on a map to appreciate the size of the cone, it's huge! Next morning the 2500m peak appeared in the distance but was mainly covered in cloud! We drove right up to the southern side and did a ...
