A View from the Top or How Kevin Got His Groove Back

So... we haven't said much about the skydive. The reason was that we were waiting for the DVD of the experience to get to Brian, Kevin's brother, so he could post it online. And Brian was kind enough to post it online very quickly for your delectation. Thanks Brian! Now, before we post the link here's a little introduction to the skydive.

Kevin and I have always wanted to skydive and we knew that on this trip we'd have the opportunity to do so in either Oz or New Zealand. I thought it would be a good birthday present for Kevin so I gave him the dive and the DVD package whereas I just took the jump (that's why I only appear in bits of it). We knew that New Zealand was an adrenaline overload already and the setting of the Great Barrier Reef just couldn't be beat so we did it in Oz. And...though we didn't know this, the warmth of Queensland meant that we could just jump in our normal clothes rather than those crazy skydiving jumpsuits.

So finally, without further delay, here it is: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1955863094749019410

PS. We haven't heard the audio part to it so Kevin says he apologises if he appears (in his words) like a "dork" in it. Raving lunatic more like!
