It's a bloody small world we live in!

---

Our last night in Rome at the camping ground and another spaceship van pulls in next to us. It's the first one we've seen since we left the UK and there's another kiwi couple over here at the start of their big OE. We head over for a chat and find out they are from Northland, been living at Ruakaka for the last 3 years, she's been teaching a Tikipunga high and he's been paua farming at Ruakaka, then the connection gets even closer! Turns out she's from Ruawai, all their stuff is stored at her parents place there and Sue Butcher, she knows your family really well and you taught her at Kindergarten. Her name is Bronwyn Henderson. She said 'hendy' and that her dad and Stuart were in the fire brigade team together. I tell you, you couldn't get much closer if you tried. Talk about random. Spent a great night talking and drinking at the bar and it was great to know tHat they were having the same experiences with satnavs, toll booths, and rated camping grounds on the showers just like us. Will talk about Rome in a later blog...which has been awesome but just had to share that little piece of news. Amazing eh! Love to all.xxx
