Dear Amy, Wow A BUNGEY jump. Felt a little bit sick watching you do it, and hearing the scream. Was the cackling you or the person filming it??Queenstown looks picturebook. Friends of our eloped there and have fond memories. Glad to hear that your bones are intact. How about the other peolpe around you when you were falling off the chairlifts?

Lots of Love Aunty Wendy
