One for the bucket list!!

Hi lovely ones,

Quick update from NZ ahead of the final (& deciding) test match for the Lions 🦁🏉.

Two days ago, whilst in the stunning location of Queenstown, I did something I have always, ALWAYS wanted to do. A skydive...from 16,200ft!! It required oxygen whilst in the plane just before the jump, but my word, was it worth it! An experience I'm not sure I can put into words but one I could quite happily do again in a heartbeat.

And not bad almost a year to the day I was in between my two operations!!

My love & thoughts to you all...we head home Wednesday next week after an epic 6 week tour...one I wasn't too sure I'd make 12 months ago but one I wouldn't forget in a lifetime!

Hi Jemima, great photo but I may just sit that one out thanks! Enjoy the remainder of your trip ! xx

Hi Jemima, glad you are having such a great time, do you mind me asking if you had holiday insurance, and if yes, who with, I am thinking of taking my husband to New Zealand for his 70th birthday as he has lots of relatives he hasn't seen for years over there.

Hi Jeanette, we have our travel insurance with Aviva but it now excludes OC. Definitely go to NZ...it's a beautiful country xx

Not bad as you say, not bad at all; following your ops a year ago. I'm not envious though (unlike your Antarctica kayaking adventure, which I'd love to do) since I'm just not brave enough. But I'd like to be. Did not your heart just drop a little into your stomach as you set off? Bit like driving over a humpbacked bridge, but more so? Well done you.

[Mrs_Atko in reply to January-2016-UK]

Yes it did just that but didn't last long. I've been on theme park rides which were worse in that regard. It was just pure exhilaration & a sense of utter freedom 😁

[GBIRVMIC]

Wowzer.. good on you!!! Lovely pic.. you look radiant! Glad you're having a fantastic time! Love Michelle xx

[Donmk]

[thesilent1]

What a fabulous photo. Well done you, not sure I could throw myself out of an aeroplane! Come on the Lions. Ann xx

[ZenaJ]

That's fantastic Jemima, so brave. I don't think I could jump from a plane. And, what a fantastic tour. I'd love to do that one. Making do with watching the rugby at the moment. Scores tight. Zena xx

[thomas62]

Well done Jemima. It's on my list! And as regards the rugby it was a draw - the Lions and the All Blacks were both winners.

What an awesome photo!!!! You are certainly living life to the fullest! What a fabulous vacation!! You have put me at ease knowing that you travelled without coverage for OC. I am going to Australia in a month and was feeling quite nervous about it because my insurance doesn't cover OC. It is so important to follow our dreams when we have this nasty disease. Safe journey home. Kim xx

Catching up on posts, LOVE your pic! I did mine about 12yrs ago on a bitterly cold, crisp clear Feb day here in the U.K. But it was amazing. Xxx
