Back on the bus - joining my getting-there-good friend Carol from Scotland (she joined Magic in Greymouth so talked to her a little bit as we got into Franz). We decided that we would skydive together that afternoon - and Sarah (Germany) and Declan (Ireland) would join us - yiehaa!
We took a couple of minutes to go check out a nice waterfall in the rainforest:
Got off at Purple Cow Backpackers (don't get room 17 - no windows, smallest room I've seen, and four bunkbeds.. prison, prison, prison..), and started preparing for our skydive...
...that also got cancelled...
Wind and clouds...
Hmm, Emma thought for a moment, Wait a minute, that's the third time my skydives get cancelled - a bit weird...
Any sane person would realise that someone was trying to tell me something - third time's the charm normally right? But hell no! Let's reschedule for tomorrow morning on the way out of Wanaka!
So Carol and I took a walk along the lake, got some candy, had a nice baked-potato-with-blue-cheese-and-wine dinner, before drinking some more wine with people =)
Tomorrow I AM GOING TO SKYDIE - oops, skydiVe's more correct.. or maybe not.. you never know - I've ignored all the signs, so I'll have myself to blame if worst come to worst..
Hold all thumbs! (swedish term)
