Skydiving Franz and Fox Glaciers...!!!

NEW ZEALAND | Thursday, 5 June 2008 | Views [396] | Comments [2]

Well we're sitting here at work waiting for 1030 when we're borrowing a car from our boss to drive ourselves to Fox Glacier where we will both be jumping out of a plane from 12,000ft over Fox and Franz Josef Glaciers!!!  The sky is bright blue and it's sunny at the moment and there's not much wind so a pretty perfect day indeed!  Carl has lost a stone and therefore is under the max weight limit so we're super pleased that he is able to jump and that we can go together....

Work is cool.  I have now joined Carl on the bar 4 nights a week and there is usually only the two of us because the bar's not huge.  We have a great time, there's lots of backpackers and regulars who come in and get pretty merry so the atmosphere is usually buzzing.  The bar stays open anywhere until 0100 - 0300 so we're not getting to see much of the days but we're raking in the money and that's what we wanted before we head off to South America with a full wallet ready to gorge ourselves, well Carl, on Steak in Argentina and have tango lessons in Bueno Aires!!  Cannot wait!

Not sure anyone still reads this.. but what the hey!

Love to you all,

Me and him xxxx
