Lake Wanaka!!! (NZ Day 7 Part_1)

Today we start our day with a phone call to Skydive Lake Wanaka centre. We had to find out if the weather is OK to fly today and it was! These was good news for us because we really wanted to try skydiving and as we know then Lake Wanaka is the best place in New Zealand where to Skydive! Our Time is limited but we had full day planned in Wanaka area so it was really good that weather was great in the morning.
It was quite short drive from Queenstown to Wanaka. It takes just 1 to 1.5 hours to drive there and it was easy to follow the map and road signs. Not too many roads in this area! Ha ha! :) So after this short drive we quickly located Wanaka airport and found our Skydive Lake Wanaka Centre. After professional introduction and little preparing we started to kit up. Sky dive team helped to make sure that everything is good and safe and it didn't took long and we where heading to this read quite airplane.

This is how Eva was practising for the jump! Nice right! :) Well - in real life it is a little similar but much more fun! :) First we stepped in the airplane and we knew that we wont be landing the usual way! :)

Our instructor and rest of the crew where making jokes all the way to 15,000 FT in the air.
Evas instructor asked Eva if she is skydiving for the first time, and:
"Yes!'' she replied.
"oh, for me it's the second time! It will be fun!"
and then one by one people started to disappear from the airplane!! :D See how it was just bellow...

This was really great Adventure for all 3 of us and thanks to camera man we have these great memories that we can share with you! :) This was so cool and I am glad that we did skydiving in this fantastic place. Eva always knew that some day she will do it and Wanaka definitely was the best place (with perfect scenery) to do it! Martins enjoyed every little second of this skydive and after he even wanted to do it as a job! :D It was nice to hear that staff knows our names and this individual approach made us feel like home! Thanks guys for having us - it was an adventure of a life time!
We marked this place in our map in case you are wondering where it's located and here is the link to skydive Lake Wanaka home page where you can book your adventure of a life time: http://www.skydivewanaka.com
