The weekend was fabulous!! It actually was my best weekend since I'm here.. On Saturday we had to get up very early, because we were meeting us in Waipapa, (very small town, 10 minutes from our house) to take our tour bus.. Marie, Franzi, Marco, Lukas and I did a Trip to the northermost point of New Zealand; Cape Reinga. We took the bus at 8 a.m and first we drove to a forest to walk through it and hug some huge trees.. =)
Then we drove about 1 hour to the 99 Miles Beach and we drove along the beach in the car, it was so amazing! =) We had a lot of fun in the bus, because we were the only teenager and all the others were over 40.. but I'm not sure if the others liked us... =P
On the beach we stopped, to take some photos and to enjoy the sun and after we went to a sand dune to go sandboarding!! It was so cool!! First you have to walk 15 minutes up, (it was so hot) and then you can finally have fun.. You become quiet fast on your board and some of us ended in the river.. =D
We were quiet tired because of walking up all the time, so we were happy that we could take a break on a nice beach.. We ate lunch and took many photos..
After another 40 minutes we arrived at the North Cape of New Zealand.. The view was amazing.. You could see the whole ocean..
Quiet tired after this "" day, we had a 3 hours drive back..
After a nice shower, we went to Marco's farewell Party.. The adults were watching Rugby and we watched a scarry movie.. =) we had delicious food and real bread!! No toast!! =D It was a great evening..!
The next day we meet at 9 a.m at the airport, to do the craziest thing ever.. =D
We went sky diving!!! It was very expensive !! 465 $ with DVD and photos..
Franzi was the first of us.. It took 30 minutes until she was on the ground again.. She loved it.. so our anticipation was even bigger..
Then it was Marie's and my tourn.. We had to wear overalls and gants. We went in a very small plane, we were just 4 people in it, and we were sitting on the floor.. We flew about 15 minutes until we achieved the 12'000 feets.. I actually wasn't scarred at all.. just excited.. =) then it was time to jump out of the plane.. The door opened and I hahd to but me feet out of the plane.. And suddenly we fall.. We twisted and we were flying... It was the best feeling ever!! We flew through a cloud, it was wet and you couldn't see anything.. After a 45 seconds free fall, we opend the parachute and we enjoyed the view over the Bay of Islands.. It was so amazing.. After a few minutes, I was allowed to steer the parachute.. it was so exciting..!The landing was painless and it was a good feeling to be on the surface again..
It was the best experience ever!! Marco and his hostbrother Matt were the last ones of us.. We took pictures and were proud of us, that we did one of the craziest thing you can do.. =)
