Woah , aarrgh!! stomach churning pics. Well I cease to be amazed! I thought you had experienced all the extreme sports but NO!! It looks as though you both really enjoyed it, but rather you than me. The photos are brilliant and what an incredible camera man!!! I hope Dad hasn't got any ideas on photographing Sky Diving (Ha ha!!). I love the expression on your face reminds me of Tubbs (I think that's his name) in that comedy show, the name of which escapes me.Brilliant blog, I'm just loving it. Love Mum xxxxxxxx
Thrills What a great time you two are having! How can you now better the thrills and excitement of the last week..... no doubt you will try. I didn't think Charlotte would have done the skydive. The photos show that she really enjoyed it.
I've already printed off this blog for grandad (he allways looks forward to reading it).
Can't wait to get the photo files on CD. I can then print off an enlargement so that grandad can see the delight on your faces.
What's next then..........jet boat along the canyon?
Look forward to the next blog.
Keep on enjoying youselves and look after each other
Dad

Phew!!!!! I can relax now that you have experienced THE BUNGEE JUMP!!!!! I just do not know how you did that, my heart was in my mouth just looking at the photos. I take it it was too tame for Charlotte?!!. I think you mistook Smeagle for Stig of the dump!The scenery is just breathtaking and the sea is sooo blue. I like the countdown to you coming home, can't wait. Missing you lots.

Hellloooooooo Hey Guys, your trip is amazing, looka like you're having an amazing time, I am so jealous while i sit here at work in an office that barely has a window!!!
Hope that you're both well, my is leaves for 2 wks in Japan and then 2 Wks in Australia in uner a month, I feel like the only one that hasn't gone now! he he
Lots of love Alice and Owen xxx
Stunning scenery The photo of Kaikoura penninsula is stunning. Even more first time experiences for you . I have to say you both look the business in the helicopter!! I'm not surprised that people were sick whilst with the dolphins, the sea looks pretty choppy to me. Hope the weather is good for the rest of your stay in New Zealand, can't wait for next instalment. Love to you both.

Bird's eye view. What a lovely view of Wellington city, the gardens look in good order and well looked after. I hope you gave poor Charlotte a hand down that slippy mountain!!!!. The boiling mud and geysers look fascinating, I was talking to one of our teachers about them and she said they absolutely STINK ( the mud that is). Look forward to some more fantastic photos. Missing you lots.
Love Mum xxxxxxx
wonderful love to you both, it all looks so wonderful
enjoying the blogs keep them coming,
you both look so well and happy
keep enjoying yourselves love to you both xx
thanks for the postcard xx
What an experience!!! Mmmm!! What a juicy looking witchitty (is that how you spell it?) grub, I just don't know how you could have eaten that, it makes me squirm just thinking of it. The kangaroo tail doesn't sound to appetising either I think I would have passed on both delicacies. It sounds as if you had a brilliant time and the photos are fantastic. I especially like the 'cheeky' pose, not thinking of doing a calendar are you?!!!A great finale to a great trip. I await to be amazed with your exploits in Kiwi land. Happy travelling, stay safe.

Weird place. How strange that people should live underground. Was it claustrophobic being down there? It looks a pretty desolate place from the photos, certainly very different to the places you have visited so far. And the leading question, did you find any opals?!! Dad has just printed this blog off for Grandad and I am taking it over to him this afternoon.Speak to you soon.
Love Mum xxxxxxxxx
Patriotic to the end! Glad you enjoyed the cricket (even though we lost!!) and good on you wearing the England flag to the bitter end!! Some very impressive photos, love the sunset and the view along the river at night.You will have to buy the biggest album in the world to put your selection of photos in!. Can't wait to see Ayres Rock. Happy travelling, keep safe, missing you lots.

WOW!!!!!! Happy new year to you both. What amazing photos , it looks and sounds as if you had a fantastic time. I think the photos of the fireworks are absolutely brilliant and as Dad will tell you it's not easy to produce good results of fireworks, well done you. Charlotte you looked stunning in your beautiful dress, you must have been the belle of the ball.Great to have an update, keep them coming.
Love Mum xxxxxxx
Eye Eye!!!!! What a lovely photo(even with the monocle) .I think, Charlotte you should invest in a pair of indestructable glasses but then there's always the chance that you might lose them!!!!!!!
The Blog Grandad said he is getting so much enjoyment from reading your blog and is really proud of you and Charlotte and surprised at all that you have done. He says what lovely memories you will have for the rest of your lives and by the way he just loved the Tuk-Tuk,it has pride of place on top of his telly!!Looking forward to the next update.

Under the sea The coral gardens look stunning, such vivid colours and the rest of the photos are brilliant too. Hope you both enjoyed Christmas I imagine it seemed surreal?, we missed you both and the Farrow family missed you too but said it was great to speak to you on Christmas evening (Boxing Day in Oz).Yes it was good to hear your voice. Take care.
