Skydiving!

For Elisa's 36th birthday we went skydiving over Texel, an island in the north of Holland. We did 5 jumps each and it was awesome! What a rush to jump out of plane, free fall and glide down hanging under your chute.

This is Elisa's fifth and best jump.


This is Wouter's fifth and best jump.


We can't wait to do this again! Jumping out at an altitude of 4km (13,000ft), the sensation as you free fall, the cool glide to the ground, missing the landing area and plowing a tulip field...

Before we decided to go jumping ourselves, we both did a tandem jump where you are strapped to an instructor and you're really just along for the ride. Surprisingly, this can be scarier than jumping yourself...
