After a brief but intense training, over a month of waiting for weather, plane availability and our schedules to match, we finally went skydiving here in Charles Prince airport, just out of Harare. For 150USD, we got the full training, and two static line jumps (which means the chute opens automatically after you drop out off the plane, so you only have a couple of seconds of free fall).
It was my third jump (did two at uni, so ages ago) and Thomas had only done paragliding so adrenaline levels were high. It was quite the thrill, though short (around 3 minutes of flying) and all following the instructions given from the ground by a big arrow. Thomas sprained his wrist landing though, but besides that, no injuries, just excitement. Might do it again soon, as from now on, jumps would only be 35USD each time, quite the bargain compared to western prices.
