Well I have gotten most of the business side of my trip sorted and apart from keep up to day to day stuff (it never stops!) Im going to be getting up to all sorts as of now.

So I though I would fill you in on my antics to date. There happen to be a group of friends and colleagues in QT as well at the moment, so today we went on the luges to see who would be crowned King or Queen Luger. For those that dont know, Luge is like go carting but without and engine. You sit in a tabogan like sled that has wheels and you fly down through a down hill track. I had never done it before so the first time I had to do the beginners run, it was all very new and a bit scary but fun. I was with a group of about 13. I caught the chair lift back to the top of the mountain and this time opted for the advance track. Crikey. Intense, it has almost vertical drops and tights turns that feels like they are right on the ege of the mountain. Add to that the fact that I was lugeing with a group of male maniacs who each want to prove their prowess on the luge and it was bloody freaky! The guys were banging into me to try and make me stack, but no luck. By the fourth time down I was crashing into them and successfully made a few of them tumble off track! If you have never done it, definitely worth a try.

Good fun and the more the merrier. Right next to the luge track was a paragliding place, so I popped in and they said they could take me up right away. So me and Craig Jervis (some of you may know him as Wealth Perception guy, cool dude) were game enough and hiked to the top of the mountain to give it a go. It was tandem, so we didnt need to train and we could literally just jump straight in. Still I was a little concerned when my instructor hooked me up with very little instructions and then said “right, just run off the cliff” My response…”aahhhh..run off the cliff? hold on you really mean run off the cliff? like this….?” and off I went. You haven’t lived until you have RUN off a CLIFF!

Before we took off I told him to do as many crazy and insane tricks as possible, really try and freak me out! He tried, but I just kept laughing. It was great fun and possibly one of the best places in the world than you could paraglide. It was a beautiful clear day and such an amazing feeling to float above the world. He got low enough to some pine trees on a cliff so I could kick the top of the tree with my foot - dont try that at home! We then started doing crazy turns, hooks and other things that made my stomach pretty concerned. It was over in about 8 minutes and a great experience that Ill definitely do again. I have been sky diving a few times, but I actually liked this better. Give it a go…checkout this video of me doing it if you want a preview!
