My first parachute jump

Since I was little I had the dream of parachute jumping. And a few days ago I heard of an excursion my college colleagues were doing in Interlaken, Switzerland. One of the best cities to make parachute jumps because of its long mountains. And I could not let go. My friends Patricia, Victoria, Priscilla and Pedro were also.

We arrived the evening of March 13, despite the spring, there was a cold wind. Everyone stayed at the krebs hotel. And just today, on the 15, we went parachuting.

We took a train at 15 hours called Jungfraubahn, it was built in 1912 and until today is only one that takes us to the top of the mountain. My heart was a thousand; it was a lot of anxiety for a person. We spent 45 minutes to reach the top of mountain, where was a park called Top of Europe.

The team was divided, I did the training that was necessary, I put the clothes and t

he parachute. I boarded the helicopter. From above, the view was beautiful. I reached the door and was suddenly in the air. I opened the parachute. Little by little the ground was close to me. When I did, I was on the floor.

Another dream come true, the experience was incredible, I can't explain. I plan to do this move often. At night we will do some kind of camping. Then I come to tell you. See you!
