Whoa!
Fabulous description: now I know for sure that I don’t want to do that.
Skydiving also opens up that “black hole” in your chest but isn’t as terrifying and you do get to enjoy the scenery.

Very much enjoying your journey.

OMG, my hands got sweaty just reading this piece. As usual, your excellent writing made me feel like I was there next to you…well OK, maybe not right beside you but at the back of the cabin watching you!! Congrats to you and Bianca!
P.S. laughed at the inclusion of the link used to calculate the rate of the fall!!

Thanks, Paul. It’s incredible just how quickly you shift form excited to terrified before the jump.

Adelina: your comments always make me smile. You encourage me something fierce. Thanks!

FELICIDADES! I salut you and Bianca for your bravery to do the jump. My favourite piece of your blog so far, your writing style is brilliant and it brings me to the point which makes me scream with you into the “dark hole” when it comes to the part you did the big leap.

Keep the wonderful stories coming. Can’t wait to read your next piece

MISS U!!!!

Well done Roberto, I remember doing this jump myself some years ago… a big challenge for myself.

I remember the gondola over to the cable car, that was a pretty scary start!!

Congrats, great write up too.
