| 6th August 2008 Mark | - From: I could do with a slush puppy right now Looked like an awesome day on the glacier fellas.

| 6th August 2008 Jenna | - From: "The highest commercially raftable waterfall in the world you say?" Wow, that seems like immense fun! If pretty terrifying... |
| 6th August 2008 Paul Flenley | Mountains:-D - From: Now this is what we're talking about... I think you will have to drag me there to see the mountain ranges you talk of Elliott, they sound fantastic! Shame about the photo's not loading, but your blog gives us a taster of what's in store when you do load the pics:-) Don't know why you had to go all the way to NZ to see whales, we've had a whale beach itself off of hayling Island yesterday. Sadly, our one didn't survive. Very sad. I'm glad Kaikoura lifted your spirits - home sickness can be a terrible burden to bear. Think positively, you two are making the most of, and experiencing, something brilliant which will be with you always. Happy travels is what you will remember. |
| 5th August 2008 anonymous | - From: Due South... Can't believe you've been gone for two weeks already...it feels like forever, in fact it almost feels like you were never back Elliott, but it doesn't feel long, thinking that you're already half-way through this year's adventure! Not much to say but will wish you luck and of course, better weather, on the South Island! Miss you loads... R. x |
| 5th August 2008 Ro | - From: The day in Wellington... Forget New Zealand...Hannah Montana in 4D????? Where? When? I feel your pain... |
| 5th August 2008 Chris Dowling | Kaikoura Crackers - From: Here there be Dragons...I mean Whales Hi folks, still keeping up with your travels and after this particular blog couldn't help myself from sticking "Kaikoura Crackers" into Google to see what sprang up!! Strangely enough, no fancy website from the manufacturers of said pills pops up, but links to several other travel blogs, including a few in German, from other fellow travellers who have purchased said medicine!! You will be pleased to know that your blog also now appears in said search list!! Cheers for now. Chris. |
| 5th August 2008 Ro | Feeling hat hat hat - From: This was a bad day... Bummer of a day really guys, hope it picks up again. I'm so glad you're such a good driver Jason, who knows what state we would have got you back in if Elliott had a licence! hehehehe R x PS: And the hats??? Totally predictable. Jason: sensible and warm. Elliott: Indiana Jones complex...enough said |
| 5th August 2008 Graham & Lindsey | How do you get two whales in a car ..... - From: Here there be Dragons...I mean Whales What can I say sounds amazing can't wait to see the pics ....And yes Elliott I would like a hat and Lindsey (only if you still have enough money to get a pizza), make mine an x-large one, large for Lindsey but leather if poss. Jason I am so glad you didn't vomit on the whales, greenpeace would be really pissed off with you! Could rename it a puke whale i suppose .... We are so jealous doing all the things we'd luv to do. We will both book a week's leave......for the slide show when you get back!!!!!! All our love xxxxx |
| 5th August 2008 Ro | I'm a twit..... - From: Tewhakarewarewatangaoteopetauaawahiao I do believe I put my email add in a previous comment title...please no emails from people i don't know... Am so surprised no one has commented on this one...I'm loving the village name...Tewhakarewarewatangaoteopetauaawahiao...may just call my first born that.... Also am loving the protective idols, they're really quite cute... |
| 5th August 2008 Ro | ........... - From: "The highest commercially raftable waterfall in the world you say?" Oh Shit seems so appropriate...i only have one word... Awesome! You guys totally rule and I can't wait to see these photos up close! Stay safe. R x |
| 5th August 2008 Ro | froggy_roz@hotmail.com - From: Horse Riding and the Maori cultural experience Boy, you guys should consider a career change! You look bloody good in helmets- ever considered becoming firemen? This entry has made me incredibly jealous! I want to go to the Maori village! It sounds awesome, although I'm not too sure about my food being cooked in the ground...how does that work anyway??? Glad to see there's some cultural trips in the middle of all the edge-of-the-seat excitement! Love you. R xxx |
| 3rd August 2008 Paul Flenley | Hanging around :-( - From: Due South... This blog entry describes exactly what bugs me about travelling; you have to leave the park by 10, you can't board the boat for two more hours - what can you do? Too little time to do any sight seeing, too much time to just sit and do nothing! Go and do anything and you run the risk of missing the boat - literally! And then the waiting, and the waiting, and more waiting to board GGGRRRRR!! Are these places really geared up for the tourist / traveller who provide them with much needed trade and income? I think not. Anyway, that's my rant over and done with. Jason - ref the previous blog entry, did you get the vital photographic / video evidence of Elliott falling up the stairs of the bus stop that you could share with us? (haha!). Thankyou Elliott for the txt's. Silly, I know, but to think that the txt's come to me from the other side of the world still amazes me. It's good to hear from you. Both of you have a fantastic time on the South Island. I hope the weather gets a little better for you. Enjoy! |
| 3rd August 2008 Graham & Lindsey | Devon and the rain ! Half way there ! - From: Due South... Sorry about the lack of comment due to the lack of a computer! Now we're back let the fun commence, first off not sure the New Zealand diet will be a big seller just a tad too much sugar! Elliott that hat luv it ! Please get me a large one [I know that's what she said!] Sort you out when you get back [that's what I said!] I know it's a long way away but have got your train ticket sorted. Also if anyone wants 2 b part of the welcome home committee up in the big bad smoke give me a call. By the way son, nice driving, try rallying next but not co driving might make you sick. Glad you're both ok we all miss you but really want you both to get through this together. Looking forward to the next post but please give me something to take the piss out of, I'm fed with being nice :D lots of luv xx p.s Archie says woof |

| 1st August 2008 Paul Flenley | Love the new hat! - From: This was a bad day... Sounds like you both went thro the wringer with that drive south, and you should be proud of yourselves for getting through the storm, it's no mean feat. The white water rafting and Thermal village blogs were excellent. I was at work (lunchtime) when I read the white water rafting blog, and switched to slide show mode to view the pictures. Within the minute I had an audience of five asking about what you were doing. Then I showed them the blog which they thought was brilliant. Enjoy the museums and the trip to the South Island, which on my map looks bigger than the island you're leaving. |
| 30th July 2008 Emma & Deena | - From: "The highest commercially raftable waterfall in the world you say?" Hi guys After mulling it over we've decided it's not a real word however idiocy is !!!!!!! So impressed at your amazing photos of Team UK kicking ass on the rapids and showing them how it's done:-) We've also taken the time to rename your horse Elliott : Equine GOD! 'The Man' just didn't seem egotistical enough, hee hee. Missing you lovely chaps like mad, keep up the good work with the amazingly written blog updates. p.s Emma's still waiting on her Supermarket Picture Challenge!!!!! pps I miss you like crazy sweetheart and am still madly excited to read your blog at every chance I get xxxxxxxx (message to Jason from Deena) We love you both and can't wait for the next installment xxxx:-)xxxx |

Its nice to see that elliott's still a little too brave for his own good. Be sure i'll be checking the post every day to see what words of wisdom i'll be getting on the back of a 4 x 6 pic of a tree (or whatever) lol. love you guys :) mwah xxx |
| 29th July 2008 Chris Dowling | Travel Blog - From: "The highest commercially raftable waterfall in the world you say?" Hey Elliott, caught your blog address from your Facebook page and have enjoyed reading about your adventures so far. Never caught the travel bug, but you are making it sound like a pretty good adventure so far. Hope the rest of your trip goes well. Chris. |
| 28th July 2008 Graham & Lindsey | who's butch and who's cassidy....... - From: Horse Riding and the Maori cultural experience Jason first things first sort your phone out, some things a father doesn't need to know! only joking....we're off to devon for a few days so we might miss a few posts.

| 28th July 2008 Claire | I see my journal..... - From: Horse Riding and the Maori cultural experience Glad to see ur using ur journal, I forgot to ask if you'd taken it. Weather is fab and have changed venue this week to different park, I am in charge!! The kids are nice and I am getting used to my courtesy car *scowl*. |
| 28th July 2008 justine | ouch !! - From: Here's looking at you and Finding Nemo Just looked at the pictures of your hand Jason, that looks bloody painful, mind you only you could dislocate your finger taking your wet suit off doh !! Hope you are feeling better now after your disastrous scuba dive experience, and i cant help feeling that your riding hats looked a bit like fleas on an elephants bum on your heads aswell, everyone sends their love well except Luke that is as he likes having your room to play on the computer but im sure he sends it really !!! take care both of you, love mum x x x |
| 27th July 2008 graham & lindsey | feeding the fishes ! - From: Here's looking at you and Finding Nemo Well hello huey I hope Elliott thanked you for feeding the fish b4 his dive ! I take it you won't b planning a cruise next? It's nice 2 catch up after a couple of days...might b an idea 2 get some travel tab's b4 white water rafting. Hope your feeling ok now mate don't get down I'm not a great sailor myself! Can't help thinking 12000 miles 2 watch a film a bit ott! Just make sure the horse riding doesn't turn in2 broke back mountain ! tee hee fancy telling me not 2 text you silly boy's .... All our love xx |
| 27th July 2008 Juice | Elliot.... - From: Here's looking at you and Finding Nemo I hope you were told to remember to equalise during both descent and ascent while diving, otherwise those little nitrogen bubbles that were previously keeping you alive down there could expand and you'll get the bends. I'm sure you're fine :D Take it easy guys :P |
| 26th July 2008 nanny and gramps | - From: Photo's and The day of traveling North Hello,glad that you are enjoying your holiday so far, we have read your blogs this morning and your descriptions of everything are excellent,in case you have forgotton already nanny says dont forget her thimble !!! love to you both look forward to the next blogs love Nanny and gramps xx |
| 25th July 2008 Emy | prove me right! - From: Photo's and The day of traveling North ok so been looking at the pics :) loving the boiler suits for starters, i think you could start a whole new trend back here with them :D and elliott you sooo have to take me to ninety mile beach! sounds like my cup of tea lol but i think i would rather go when you can wear shorts lol but the most important question is...what cereal are you guys eatting? ro thinks its cocoa pops but i'm thinking they are more like choco rocks! lol please prove me right, i dont care if i'm not spot on, but ro has GOT to be wrong this time lol unless of course New Zealand has some sort of mutant cocoa pops we dont get here! I bet your reading this and hanging your head in shame that this is all i can talk about on here and not the amazing scenery lmao i'll never change! also dunno if its too technical for what you you guys can get your hands on over there but if you can find a pc with skype and a cam us girlies were thinking meeting for a webcam chat might be a bit funky! might cure a bit of the old home sickness, although once jason and deena get on there i cant guarantee we wont all be puking anyway lol (joking! :p) best leave it at that as my comment is prob longer than your blog now haha. love you both, miss you both, jason if i walk past game one more time looking for you i swear im gonna kill myself, you'd think it would have sunk in by now but no! lol byyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeee |
| 23rd July 2008 Paul Flenley | seriously - how big is that Merc? - From: Photo's and The day of traveling North I cannot believe you had 20 maps and still missed your turning? Your blog is fantastic and very funny (yougurt on toast!). You both seem to be having an incredible time. Enjoy Cape Reinga and Whangaroa Bay in the coming days. As soon as I get in I switch on the computer for the next blog entry, before watching a few discs of BattleStar Galactica. Elliott - Jason seems the ideal candidate for the trans-Siberian Railway - think about it! Keep it coming lads... |
| 23rd July 2008 Lindsey & Graham | Team New Zealand - From: Photo's and The day of traveling North Great pics boys - like the impersonation of Team America on the SkayWalk. xxxx |
| 23rd July 2008 Claire | A galaxy far far away... - From: Photo's and The day of traveling North That's a designer Star Wars tshirt, and it looks awesome, as I knew it would. Those orange suits make you look like 2 escaped convicts though, not the best look! |
| 22nd July 2008 Lindsey and Graham | South Island or bust...... - From: "You can borrow the Merc if you like..." We take it map reading was not part of your degree course, Elliott?? and what with Jason thinking the road to Barnstaple leads to London....... this could be a long month for your two! If you run out of fuel money, text us and we'll wire some to you....assuming you can find the post office on the map. Re Sky Tower - Jason - are you the same boy who would not go on anything at that water park in Portugal? Ever thought of being a bust driver - sorry I mean bus driver - Jason? Glad all is going well, looking forward to the next update.... All our love xx |
| 22nd July 2008 Claire | Where be the hobbits? - From: The Sky's The Limit... These entries are far too long to read, can you do a bullet point summary of each day? I look at all the pictures though, have not spotted any creatures of middle earth yet. Hope you remembered to pack your Star Wars tshirt. xx |
| 22nd July 2008 justine | poofs - From: The Day Has Come. I have to agree with the comment above that you do look like a couple of poofs,and the blue flasher mac doesnt do a lot for you Jason either, really enjoying your blogs though, kept me and all my colleagues at work very amused !!!!! Getting bored now can you come home and feed your bird ! Yes it does look like you are in Cornwall are you sure you are in New Zealand. Look forward to the rest of your blogs love Mum x x |
| 22nd July 2008 Emy | wow! - From: The Sky's The Limit... OMG sooo wish i was there, im scared of heights but that all sounded amazing!! hows yog on toast then elliott? lmao! miss you :) |
| 20th July 2008 Mark Rothwell Esq. | Earth To Jason & Elliott - From: The Day Has Come. Dudes you are actually there I can't believe it! Although I was rather concerned that you had somehow ended up in Nigeria and were planning to make a crash landing in the Pacific?!? I thought you were going to New Zealand? Did you get on the wrong plane or something?!? Ah well, wherever you land, take plenty of pics, blog away and have an awesome time! |
| 20th July 2008 Deena and Ro | Linkin Park kick ass! - From: The Day Has Come. Whilst sitting here reading the independent and sipping our earl grey tea, we decided you look like a right pair of puffs in your photos! No seriously, we did. No seriously, you guys look hot. Honest. Hows the motorhome working out? Nice and cosy? Are you sure you left from Heathrow, only from the map it looks like you actually left from somewhere near Lomé. Priceless...remember Buzz - Around the world? Elliott? Ring any bells? Fucking genius. Oh and where the hell are you going again? We thought you were off to New Zealand, not the middle of the Pacific Ocean... We're missing you like crazy (read, Deena is missing Jason like crazy) and are glad that at least your spirits were high on departure. Hope the driving's going well sweetheart! Love you both and stay safe and happy. Hope to hear from you soon. xxxxxxx |
| 18th July 2008 Lynne Malone | WeyHey - From: The Day Has Come. So your off! Your travels have only just begun. Your journals are just waiting for the blank pages to be filled. Keep your pen nibs at the ready and remember all the little details as well as the big ones. May every day be an adventure. xxx |
