Did you REALLY expect sunny, dry weather AND clean toilets! Great blog.................. avidly read by brothers, nieces and parents. This one went far to describe the atmosphere of India - we preferred it from the 5* tourist perspective. Always said you missed your vocation. Take a nice photo of the Taj Mahal for us - from across the river if you can. Lots of Love

Phew
Glad you are all safe, we were getting worried. Shame you haven't seen Oz at its best but at least you're safe and have the excuse to visit again. It was clearly a good move to move into the comfort and safety of Novotel. Best wishes for the Indian leg of your odyssey. We fly out to NZ on 26th Jan - I'll send a change of address to your school e-mail. Take care Steve

fraser island
great blog kep it coming. Shame about the floods. They have been on the news in the UK, flood waters reaching 16m in parts and expecting Rockie to be inundated. Hervey bay is great . We did a trip to Fraser island and stayed in Eurong resort and hired a 4WD for 24 hours. Worth doing if you now have some time on your hands. We are in the Alps skiing this week, temperature here is -12 degrees which quite different from your 30+ degrees. Happy new year to you all rob and Sarah Childs

hello from rainy wales
It was funny to see you. We have looked at the pictures on your blog. They look cool. William looks like me! Are you having fun? When are you coming home? This is my email address so you can email me. We are going to Hay on Wye today. It is very misty and wet. We had lots of fun in the snow on the hill near our house with sledges. We got a Wii for christmas. That's all for now. from Evan.

Flipping freezing in Blighty. You don't know how lucky you all are. Super to read about Sydney - the first time I saw the Opera House it brought tears to my eyes. Thank you, once again, for an entertaining Blog.

Brilliant
We thought you a bit mad to leave your newly acquired cottage, with much to do, to go on an extended and expensive holiday. We now understand! Having previously dipped into the blog occasionally, this evening I have read every word and looked at every photo of your NZ epic ( Mum did so yesterday) and we are so impressed with your excellent travelogue - it left us breathless at times! What a wonderful experience for all of you - especially W&E. Good luck as you move on to Oz. Much Love.

Looks like you too have stayed at the Top 10 Kaikoura campsite! PS Giles suggested go fishing instead - they had an amazing trip with "Tommo" coming home with all sorts of edibles. PPS Giles also offering to lend you our pics of K in the sun, and us swimming in the Top 10 pool in the sunshine. PPPS Bloody cold and grey here too. Keep smiling. This is character forming stuff...

Jumping Pillows !!
Dear Cosmonauts I think the jumping pillow is another species that is native only to New Zealand. I remember one in a campsite just behind the whaleway station in Kaikoura. Many happy hours of jumping whilst waiting for the weather to clear....... I hope you get onto the water. Keep writing your blog, it brings back many memories for us. LoL Rob & Sarah

Boo Hiss
No...- rain at Kairteriteri. Loved reading about your walk - we did exactly the same one (with the added bonus of Sam saying after about an hour - I neeeeeed a poo; joined by Alfie about an hour later. You know how eco friendly the Kiwis are - no plopping as you go. Suspect your boat trip more than made up for the loss of kayaking which we found knackering and not very productive! Keep on driving!

A first!
Our wonderfully supportive IT department (and I) are still wondering where laptop 2 has disappeared to... Of course, I believe you when you say it is not in New Zealand. Of course, I do. And my thanks to Nanna and Grampa for ensuring that I haven't had to scurry off and check the digital cameras, too. I love the blog--just a little worried that W may in future associate worldwide travel with The Horror of Math Lessons. Stop them at once. C
