Sky tower

i jumped off the sky tower in auckland! its the tallest tower in the southern hemisphere.
i only really did it because im too chicken to do a bunji jump but infact it is further to fall.
it was really scary letting go as you have to hang off the edge and can see how far away from the ground you are but after about 2 seconds they stop you to take a picture. at this point you are dangling in front of the restaurant to everyone is staring at you through the glass. not so good if you are desperately waving your arms from side to side trying to spin roung so that the photo can be taken. gives everyone else a good laugh i suppose!
you then have to speed up from 0 to 90 mph in a few seconds which was terrifying but after that its like flying and the views were absolutely amazing.
also found a discount voucher so i got free photos - proof that i actually did it!
