You are so right!
Left Te Anau this morning in rain and snow on the mountains by the lake overnite. Driving conditions not too flash until about midday where some blue sky appeared but the drive up from the turnoff to Queenstown had us "Oh ing and Ah ing" at the beautiful snow covered mountains either side. Kept stopping for Mary's photos and made little progress! We are now in Wanaka at the Top 10 and the wind is howling outside............Crowded House is suddenly VERY cosy and warm. Overnite temp is forecast -3C so we might have to snuggle up. On to Fox Glacier tomoro, we have just heard from the tourist info here that it MAY be booked our as Franz Josef is closed due to a glacier slide and is UNSTABLE!!! so everyone has moved down to Fox. Will keep you posted. Wish we had brought some of trhose clothes we left at your place, have been into a few oP Shops to grab some cheap jumpers. See Ya A&M

Whoops!! By now you have probably realised the bad weather is moving into the bottom of the south Island and they say the first of the snow is about to fall!! Don't know where you are now, but probably better to be on the move up the West Coast!! Good luck in your Crowded House, really looking forward to catching up soon.

So pleased weather is being so kind to you, keep up the good work re blog entries, great seeing it thru your eyes! Hard to imagine such beautiful scenery from what other people tell you, now you reallise why everyone wants to see for themselves! We loved the trip to queens town a couple of years ago but still have lots to see. I think the best way is the way you are doing it, in a camper an. Crowded House or not!!!

So long you are not going to believe this...........
Hi Greg & Di, I guess this is like finding one of those old seafaring bottles washed up on the beach! Like a "blast from the past" so to speak! We have just re-opened our old blog as we are now off on a tour of New Zealand and came across your comment. How embarrassing that we never responded but somehow must have missed it. ANYHOW, here we are again so if you are reading this please come along with us for the ride. til then, stay cool you guys Adrian & Mary.

B&B in Salzburg
Hi Paul, only just saw your question on our old blogsite. We have been absent for a long time and have just decided to re open it as we are off again on another trip. Haven't been reading it for a year! I don't suppose that your question is now relevant (being a year old!) but here goes....... The place is called "Brigit's B&B" but I don't think she has a website. Just a little old lady who rents our a couple of rooms in her house. We got the place off a tourist pamphlet at the Tourist kiosk at the Salzburg railway station when we arrived. Just rang her (haven't got number sorry) and then walked to her place. If this info is still needed I will try to dig up some more info from our old travel diaries. cheers Adrian.

Re birthday
Thankyou all for greetings, we are missing you too. See my reply to Jane for update on where we are - holiday is rapidly winding down now. Really looking forward to NOT having a 5.45am wake-up call tomorrow, Trafalgar sure covered a lot of places we would not otherwise have seen but its a breakneck pace. Can sit up in bed here and see Eiffel Tower out the window and it really is a spectacular structure. Looks especially fantastic at night, we didnt go up because queues were too long and we were too tired. Lots love to all xxxx

Memorable birthday
Thanks Jane, yes Adrian did boost the Italian economy with some very nice birthday gifts. Had the wind-up dinner for Trafalgar last night which coincided nicely with birthday celebrations. Great night where we walked down the Spanish Steps to a garden restaurant with 2000+yr old Roman wall along one side of the garden. Lots of rowdy singing and dancing to accompany the dinner and round off the tour on a very happy note. Just got back to our hotel in Paris now (Fri 27/10, 9pm) after walking down to view Eiffel Tower at night and watching cruisers on the Seine. Balmy evening with crowds out picnicking on the lawns under the Tower - and its almost November! Lovely view of the tower out our hotel window too. Look forwrd to seeing the new house. xxx

caio Maria
When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, it's your birthday.(singing) When your face starts to shine cos you've had too much wine, it's your birthday! (hope you're still singing!) Bells etc, etc (keep singing cos you have plenty to sing about!) Wanted to make sure you read this before, or on, the 26th, so you just Go Girl, woop it up, celebrate non-stop, and (in my language of choice) Bon anniversaire notre belle-soeur. And to mon frere, we were much tickled by your 'very fast train ride' commentary. So glad you are having such a fabulous time. Love reading your blog. Brings back lots of great memories as we travel along on the www. Grosses bises, Barb et David

Loved your Rome photos
Hope Trafalgar is going well and you are enjoying Italian food, wine coffee, scenery....Must be difficult. I had my first bribe attempt yesterday at work. Geriatric equipment favours in return for what I think was an invitation to visit a farm. Ah well, its never dull in the care of the extremely elderly....Must away to continue the beautification process for our first home open tomorrow. SOME people have commented that our house looks VERY neat on the web, in a suprised tone, as if we are not always ready at a moments notice for the Home Beautiful Photographer....
