The SkyTower is the tallest tower in the southern hemisphere. It's Auckland's major landmark and tourist attraction. And you can jump off it. So I did.
The view from the top of the platform is incredible. You can see the entire city... from One Tree Hill to the Auckland Harbour Bridge. The buildings look sooooo small from up there.
They get you shoehorned into a flight suit then strapped to a couple of guide-wires. You hyperventilate a little bit as you're staring down at the ground. Then you just step off a platform and plummet toward the city sidewalks.
The pictures and video are great! (They're not in the right format to put on the web... but we'll show them to you after the trip!)
