Mr Smith, I note with interest that your white water rafting was less eventful than the trip we shared at Vic Falls. Must admit that I'm glad to hear that there were no idiots on this trip trying to strangle you with the saftey rope whilst you tried desperately to get back into the raft - oh well maybe next time. Look after yourself and give Mrs Bear a hug from me. Stuart

Update right back atcha...
... 'cos I know you'll be gagging for news from back home. *scratches head* Hmmmmmmmmm. There must be something...... *stares out of window* Well; if I was desperate, I could tell you I'm just about the only person left in South London that hasn't been stabbed so far this year, and tomorrow's Wednesday Night Golf Club has been postponed because of a Severe Weather Warning and the imminent prospect of high winds and 2 inches of rain in the locality. But I can't be that desperate - surely there's something I can tell to rival your adventures..... I did see a dead something-or-other by the side of the M2 this morning that looked suspiciously like a Badger - there, how exciting's that?

A celebrity writer in the making, me thinks.....
Mr D, when the world of travel, blues skys, beaches, fab scenery, strange animals and somewhat stranger people becomes the norm, I'm sure you can write a book! You have a me smiling from ear to ear everytime I read your updates (and it feels like I'm not missing TT tooooooo much! Take care Jo xx P.S - TT, surely you should be having apple or cranberry sauce with that magic lasagne? or maybe just push the boat out with an egg!!!

Best blog entry so far - most amusing. "a certain nihilistic beauty in its seemingly everlasting nothingness" - Daren - keep that standard up mate and you could achieve a lifetime ambition when you return and write lyrics for the Manics

No body surfing please
Puzzling world looks absolutely fantastic though. How can a place like Wanaka pop 253 probably, have something we just don't have. Must make up for the lack of Friday quizzes.

On your last leg (not figurativly !)
You've done all that the South Island offers so far, but wait, there's more !! For instance, Lake Wakatipu (Fokertipu) Queenstown is beautiful at this time of year with the trees at the lake's edge turning yellow with the approaching Autumn, the snow capped mountains as a backdrop. You can walk up Queenstown Hill before breakfast as the sun is rising, for a better view. If you would like a challenge, climb up Ben Lomand for an even better view. A three hour trip, each way. Love to you both, take care. Brian and Rosemary.

Congrat's on your intrepid journey.
Great to see you did the Tongariro Crossing and experienced the changeable NZ weather. When you tackle Mt. Cook in the South Island suggest you take the right equipment and preferably have a qualified guide, we loose quite a few Tourists each year on Mt Cook. Great pic's, keep them comiing. Love from your Antipodean Uncle and Aunt.

What a lucky pair!
Sounds fantastic. I'm getting increasingly jealous every time I read your blog. Think I'll have to persuade Mr Gray that travelling with babies could work. I spend my days up to my elbows in nappies and dribble (although that's not a complaint). Keep having fun and just think of everyone stuck here with the wind and rain. XXX

Happy New Years
Sounds like you're having a great time. Loved the picture of the packet of fags - good trick to use the spider as perspective. I was in Denmark for Xmas and New Years Eve, no lost luggage, small childrens clothing or dog pee (alas) but It sounds like we all had a good share of fish and fireworks.

Merry Xams & a Fab 2008!
The weather is cold and wet and I cant stand the sight of any more chocolate/turkey/cheese/crisps/nuts/more chocolate and even alcohol! (although I'm sure I'll feel up to some vodka cocktails for NYE, mmmmmmmmm!) Andy is in front of the TV watching yet more football/darts/cricket (sorry D, Man U wont be top for the start of 2008) so I thought I'd just pop online to wish you guys a Happy and Healthy 2008, hope you get to celebrate in style and that 2008 brings you everything you wish for!

Hope you are both still on terra firma as Cycone Damon has just blown thru your way as you are no doubt aware. With luck it will have passed you by with high winds and heavy rain. Let's know your news Daren and Tina, we are thinking of you. Love from Brian and Rosemary.
