Taupo: Skydive & Hostel Dinner

Day 7: Huka Waterfall Hike, Skydive Experience, Pasta Night

The skydiving HUMMER LIMO picked Sophie, Amy, Paige, Grace, Nic and myself up for our transportation to the airport, where only a few of us (not me) almost chickened out before suiting up. Eventually we were signing our lives away, suiting up, climbing in the plane, reaching 17000 ft, jumping out, screaming, and landing before we could even process it fully. The whole experience was almost over too quickly to even remember doing it. Safe to say that everyone was floating on air the rest of the night, just waiting for the photos and videos to come through.

Have you ever gone to the store to buy food for a group of people thinking everyone will be hungry, buy and cook said food, only for there to be way too many leftovers? Yeah well that's what happened when I volunteered to cook Aglio E Olio for the entire group. We bought 8 packets of spaghetti for the group, boiled a MASSIVE pot of water, cooked 6 packets, and still had enough to feed everyone else in the hostel! I am never cooking that large of a meal again, but everyone said they loved it, so a win’s a win!Read more
