amazing I cant believe how much you have done since i last logged on, glaciers, hiking, bunjees, Ice bars (loving that)... You are both nutters, but its so great to see that you are experiencing everything whilst you are out there. Dont know how you are going to come back down to earth afterwards. ...Hope you have a wicked time in Brisbane and I look forward to reading what you get up to next...
hello Hi porter and Steve,
I am impressed with this website, has taken me a while to work out how to do a message but im there now! Well from the pics it looks like your having an amazing time, suffice to say I am very jealous back here in the cold, rainy weather!
I can't believe you did a bungy and skydive porter, got to say didn't think you would do it! Hope they were both fun! The ice bar looks really good too. Cant wait to hear all about it when you get back.
Have a lovely time where ever you are of to next.
Love Jen xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Thanks Thanks for calling last night. I had told Kate that she was going to be getting a surprise at 10.00.... But you were late in calling so i had to tell her what was happening and give the surprise away!! But it was really good to hear from you both and you both sound really well. Kate forgot to tell you that we have adopted a 13 yr old cat called Muji... Good luck on your travels from NZ and i shall look forward to you next blog.
beauty!!!!! The place looks amazing!!!! Everytime i see your blogs i just want to get up and leave. I even think about taking Kate with me.... but not for long!! You seem to have blown alot of money. I always thought that Steve was allergic to the stuff. Or was that just the bar??? Glad your both still doing well and i shall speak to you both soon.
Firstly...will you stop doing things that are so crazy?! jumping out of planes first (at least there was a parachute involved there) but nowww jumping off a ledge attached to a piece of string?!..what are u thinking?! haha u nutter....u got that big squidgy ear thing removed! haha, im sorry i know i shouldn't be laughing and i hope ur ok and that it isnt too sore!..and no fraid i didnt get the part, but im not tooo bothered, hopefully another audtition for something a bit nicer than teen pragnancy will come along! otherwise not much news...oo except from rose passed her driving test (dont think i told u?)..so we're alwaysss out now..i love my personal taxi haha...well take care both of u loads of love xxxxxxxxxxx
bungy I bet you shat yourself!!! Well done though Batty, Well done indeed. I hope Amanda took it easy on you when you played the indoor golf... The place looks so nice, do you ever think you will want to come home!!! speak to you soon. Do you have your mobiles with you? if so call me or i will call you....
Missing You Miss Ploppington Sorry it has been so long since my last email. Ended up emailng the link home as work has been too manic for me to email you. I have read all your journals now, and cant believe how much you have done in the month you have been out there. Its incredible. So jealous about the dolphins, thats my "thing" to, and hope i get to swim with them one day. What are you a nutter?? Skydiving!!! you crazy girl. Sounds like the places you are staying in are really nice and the pictures are amazing aswell. Cant wait to see them all when you come back to work. Loved the pictures of the zoo, that Lion looked like it was about to eat you. Okay, so since you have been gone, I went to Greece which was really nice. Rented a scooter and went round the island. got really brown but its faded now,so back to being a white girl. You look really brown and healthy. Its being away from Hewitt that does it. Okay so work goss: Steve and Sionbhan have left, Paul goes next week. Amy and Dawn have also gone and Nicky has been given the Ops Analyst role, which leaves us with something like 1 person on the team (oh that would be me!!!), Naahh, we have got 5 new starters that seem really nice and are getting on well. Work is definately hectic at the moment, but trying not to worry too much. Just had annual reviews and we find out about bonuses soon (not sure how the company have done, so dont know whether the bonus will be good or not). I got a European Recognition Award, and have been given £75 to do something. Im thinking of having some kind of beauty treatments (maybe some spa things). Been told Champneys and Esporta are good. Any other recommendations. I have also chopped all my hair off, kinda like Victoria Beckhams new "do". Looks nice, im really happy with it. Im also getting a piano this weekend, random i know, but also wanted to learn
So you going Skiiing soon, I dont think i could do that. Id probably end up breaking bones. There has been a huge team shuffle and we have moved down by the kitchen.
Mate, dont act as if you arent happy to be staying next to the Sex Shop, I remember that red lacey number that you bought from ebay that you said you didnt buy. Sounds like this hotel is right up your alley you dirty moo!!
Well,now I have got the link at home, Ill be able to log on and keep up to date on what you have been up to and see your pictures. Hope you continue to have an amazing time and I cant wait to hear all the goss when you come back in December.
Be safe, Take Care, and Have Fun!!
Love Zoe
