Today was my first paragliding!
Just a perfect day, after 3 days of lazyness, hot still air and boring. I'm always exciting about activities, excursions and such. I was barely listening, but words like "jump from 2000 meters" triggered my attention at once. My hubby confessed that he'd never offered me it, but I did!
So, today we had our first ever experience of paragliding. It was a tandem paragliding from the top (almost) of Baba dag mountain, Oludeniz, Turkey. It is about 2000 m above sea level, and the flight above blue lagoon and a incredibly beautiful coastline was ... definitely worth thise $ 330 fir both ;)
Noone is allowed to take photos except your instructor, so I have them and video on CD and can open it when back home (+ $45). Untill then, this is our "last photo" (I'm not superstitious) with Nick before the start. We are very excited, but (spoiler) pictures from the flight is just ... head-ripping ))
Paragliding, wow! It looks like a great experience to live, even if I feel myself not so "brave" for this kind of adventures ^_^
It is not scary at all! And very exciting! Our guide shared his first experience. There was a brave lady in their group, who had a birthday on that very day, and she was 80 y.o.!

Howdy zirochka! what in the world? I thought you were taking time off from steemit? lol..that was a short break! Good to see you back full steam.
You have a good memory! Lol
I just can't stand from sharing something exciting :))) I saw, you started a new interesting series.
Howdy zirochka! So you admit that you are addicted to Steemit? lol. That's lucky for us! Yes a new series about a Texas lawman that was the criminal's worst nightmare! lol.
Well, in some meaning yes, got addicted )) I think we all are, otherwise no one stays here after HF :D
So true! No one wants to leave even though we do not know if it will make us enough money to stay.
Well, I still believe not all of us are here for money, at least money isn't a main reason for some.
Very true, some are addicted to writing and getting their stuff seen and then some just want to have friends.
Yes, it is what I mean
