Indoor Skydiving

For Mike's 22nd birthday I decided to buy him a gift off buyagift.com. He pretty much has everything, so I thought maybe going somewhere and doing something would be nicer than getting him something he won't be that bothered about and doesn't need.

As an attempt to out buy him (I'm on a roll this month with this and his Easter Egg :p) I bought him the indoor skydiving experience for two. I wasn't going to go watch him do it and not do it myself! :p
The website has so many different ideas and I was torn between a driving experience and the indoor skydiving experience. I'll go for the driving experience next time :p. It was just over £100 and arrived the next day so I'm quite glad I didn't pay extra for next day delivery. I'm very happy about the whole buy a gift process as it was so easy to buy the gift and then book it. I'm hopeless on the phone so I liked that I could book a time to go online and get it sorted that way :D.

I was very excited to do it. We went when he had some time off work, and stayed in another Copthorne Hotel. I do like Mike's job sometimes. I'm laying the hints to go to Paris for a few days on quite thick :p.

I would definitely recommend this for anyone who has everything. The instructors were so nice, he didn't make you feel stupid if you did it wrong. For an extra £5 each we had a different instructor come in and take us to the top of the tube. That was amazing.
Plus for the price I paid I got a DVD extra so I didn't need to pay for pictures as I've just print screened them from the DVD. Sneaky :p

Here's a few pictures of the hotel room. They put us in a room facing the Quay. Was really nice. The hotel isn't as nice as the one we stayed at in London and it has more a casual clientele but was still quite nice.

Whilst we were at dinner that night we also decided that as both of us have pretty much everything, that for special occasions we'll just buy experiences for us both to do instead of gifts.
I've produced a bucket list of things we could do. The possibilities are endless :p
