Over Lake Taupo – Feb. 12, 2007

We woke up in the Taupo Top 10 Holiday Park…our area was called “Lusty Flats.”

The day started off rainy and cloudy–not good for skydiving. We called in at our scheduled time and they were not going up so we rescheduled for later, keeping our fingers crossed that it would be the nice day the forecast said it would be.

We strolled around in downtown Taupo and had lunch. We called at 2:50 to see if we were going up, and we were! We headed out to the airport to Taupo Tandem. Jonathan’s dive partner was an Australian named Mike (nicknamed “MOJO”) and Jess’s partner, Greg, was the NZ skydiving champion. They were a very professional outfit, and we felt safe the whole way.
As for the skydiving, we’ll let the pictures speak for themselves…
