| 27th July 2009 rosemary | - From: Into the jungle Reminds me of the time we were in Africa, and walking back after dark to a cabin, and something cracked to the side of the path.

Love Aunties S &R |

| 22nd July 2009 Peter | - From: Last full day in New Zealand great pictures and scenary. Almost my last day at work before going to France - just have to get through a staff development away day tomorrow. Hope the trip continues to go well Peter |
| 22nd July 2009 Mr Heard | School is empty now! - From: Last full day in New Zealand We had a good end to the term. Now we are getting ready for the next one, and looking forward to seeing Simon and Rachel back again. We hope that you all continue to enjoy your trip. When you return, the hall floor will be finished, and hopefully the new stores will be complete. |
| 21st July 2009 Class 5 | Just leaving - From: Last full day in New Zealand Well this is the end of the last day in Year 5. You are now officially a Year 6, Rachel. Enjoy the rest of your holidays. We are particular envious about your visit to The Great Barrier Reef. See you in Year 6. Mr Heard sends his love. |
| 21st July 2009 christine howes | Penguins - From: Auckland and more I'm really looking forward to seeing the penguins when I go to Auckland. Not so sure about the Sky Tower. I've been up the Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth & couldn't face the glass floor! The views look great though thanks for all the wonderful pictures. Chris |
| 20th July 2009 Onions | Thank you! - From: Auckland and more Thanks again for your comments. :-) It is good to know the northern hemisphere is still there! Unfortunately we couldn't do the jump as we were too late. Otherwise, of course we would have done!!! Although Rachel worked out it cost $10 a metre of fall so she wanted to just jump off a chair on the landing base! (I think that was more to do with her preferred drop length, rather than the price!) Simon is feeling well after his head eruption! He actually planned that himself, so is glad you appreciate it. :-) Meanwhile, I guess you school people are enjoying your last day. Hope you all have a great summer holiday! Best wishes, Catherine |
| 20th July 2009 Miss B | G'day! - From: Auckland and more Hello Onions! Did Simon have a go at bungy jumping? He looks very keen in the photo! New Zealand looks fabulous...Rachel I hope you can write down the best bits for me as a guide for when I get to go (probably when I'm much older and much greyer than I am now)! Thought you'd like to know that we went on the mystery trip today, we went to Twycross Zoo and it was great! (Guess who got lost in class 3)! Looking forward to seeing more pics and blog soon! Miss B xx |
| 20th July 2009 peter | - From: Springs and things I hope Simon's head has recovered from having the geyser come straight through it - he looks very stoical about the whole thing. Great that they can switch the geyser on and off for you tourists - perhaps we should develp one in West Bridgford. Looking forward to our holiday in France which starts on Friday - probably no geysers though so not as exciting as your trip. Hope the holiday continues to be as successful as it has been All the best Peter |
| 20th July 2009 granny sue | - From: Auckland and more Those glass floors in the lifts are far too scary for me!! Loved the video of feeding the ray! Love gs |
| 19th July 2009 Granny Sue | Maori surprise - From: Museums, sheep and Maori What an interesting blog, Rachel. I envy you having so many varied and exciting experiences. I bet your mum was really daft about those puppies! All the museums sound such fun! Perhaps you might run an informative museum one day (possibly about planets etc). Have you been looking at the night sky ! Is it very different from watching in your back garden? The children here break up from school on Tuesday so they only have 2 more days to go!! I love hearing from you all. It makes me feel like I can enjoy your holiday as well. love G Sue PS I have given up playing the piano (you wont be surprised!). |
| 19th July 2009 Granny Sue | dutchess - From: Horses for courses Hi Simon! - great to hear from you. I would have been very scared of Dutchess and dragonfly. You and Rachel did so well to ride the horses! It looks a bit grey weather there. We have had sunny spells and then absolute cloudbursts!! (ask Rachel what that means). Love to everyone. G Sue |
| 19th July 2009 A.Audrey | fantastic - From: Horses for courses Lovely news and pictures. You look great on horse-back ,Rachel and Simon. We enjoy the blogs L of L A + T |
| 18th July 2009 A.Audrey | no title - From: Springs and things Can't think of a title today but we have both enjoyed the 4 entries we have just seen. What a lot you are seeing and doing. I especially like the geyser coming out of Simon's head !!!!! We have never been anywhere like that but it makes us think we might try sometime........... such lovely adventures to be had around the world. We are SO glad you are on this trip and doing it all together. More soon ....L o L A + T |

| 17th July 2009 Peter | Hi - From: Last day on the South Island the fishing looks good - shame you could not keep the fish. Its chucking it down with rain here - a big thunderstorm last night. Yesterday was fine and Geoff had his final neuroscience teaching comittee in the Queen Vic in Beeston in their outside section with the trains going by every 10mins, not a great location but the lunch was good.

He updated Internet explorer, and now all fine. Good to see Julian is with you after all. Saw him on Manley. You certainly had a great time in Sydney. We actually got to see an opera when we were there, but for the life of us, can't now remember which one it was! Must be jet lag! NO, nothing to do with old age! Looking forward to hearing all about the families in New Zealand. Give Penny and all her family big hugs from us. Love S & R |

| 6th July 2009 peter | - From: Sydney to Christchurch Hi you seem to be having a great time and doing lots of stuff, the Sydney opera house looked amazing. Not much happening here - we are having a mixture of very hot days and then some heavy rain. Went to a barbeque yesterday - I expect you will be doing a lot of those - and drank too much but it was good fun. Have just had to deal with a student who has faked his results - not so much fun. Hope you have a great time in NZ and look forward to seeing the pictures. |
| 6th July 2009 sue morris | hooray! - From: Sydney to Christchurch Hooray a photo of Julian! It does all sound rather exhausting . Good job you will have loads of photos to remind you of all these antics. Off to Paris now - back in 5 days. Keep the blogs coming! GS |
