I finally did my first tandem skydive!

At Skydive Madrid, Ocana, Spain, I finally did my first tandem skydive, at the age of only 13. In the United Kingdom, you have to be a minimum of 16 years old to do a tandem. But in Spain, people as young as 4 (I am being serious) have done it. Also, on our holiday in Spain, Dad became an officially licenced skydiver, too. He had an instructor called Ernesto Gainza, who has done several base jumps including Angel Falls. My tandem instructor was the chief instructor, Edu. I jumped with Paula and Carlos. It was a fantastic holiday. We stayed in a hotel called the Maria Jimena, although we had to stay an extra night in a hotel called the Auditorium because the easyJet flight was cancelled.
