14,000 ft!

Hello everybody!

We just jumped 14,000 feet out of an airplane onto a beach and thought we would share it all with you! Haha. Just a few statistics for you, we free-fell for around 70 seconds, reaching a top speed of around 220 kmh. (thats a bit like sticking your heads out of a car window doing 140mph down the motorway!) Pretty mental!

Also the most expensive five minutes of our lives!

As exciting as it was, thats pretty much as long as you can spend describing how you fell though air! :) (We wont bore you with any more facts. We brought a copy of it on dvd though so you can all watch it when we get back.)

Hope everyone is ok, just so you all know this is going to be the last update for a few days. Were heading over to Fraser Island for a camping trip, safari style! Spending a few days in the wilderness getting back to nature!

Loves ya, keep yourselves safe.

Ben and Mike

P.s. Sorry but we cant update photos it takes us ages and costs us loads! Your all just have to wait till we get back and do a big slide show with nibbles… or something! Ha Ha.

    hey guys – thanks for the bolton girls mention. all is quiet now kazza has gone home. currently in hervey bay, ended up staying in brisbane for a little while longer than planned as all the hostels in rainbow and hervey where fully booked and we couldnt get a bus. all ended well though, had to book the deluxe double room on the 5 floor of bunk as they had no other beds had big and little joe up there as well. you can imagine the bolton girls and the 3 brummy boys (and joe) all in 2beds! really it was a quiet night of pizza and movies – honestly!!!!
    take care boys, it was cool to meet you. if you want any info on new zealand just give me a bell.
    catch you soon Donna xx
