8th December 2008-4th January 2009 We felt pretty relieved and excited about touching down in Melbourne, not only were we going to meet up with many, many people but we were guarenteed hot showers, a comfortable bed and endless cups of tea...for at least 2 weeks or so anyway whilst we were staying with our friends Gail and Craig. Gail (Rachael's friend from uni) met us at the airport and needles... Read Full Entry

Happy new year girls
As the title says happy new year to you both. What fun you are continuing to have. You will have to write a book when you get back. Remembering last christmas at Granny Weymouth when I took a photo of you Rach and Simon asleep on the settee looking like a pair of book ends, hardy compairs to this time partying all the while !!. How lovely. I remember when I was in Brisbane in Nov. with all the stores playing christmas songs and carols how odd it seemed. Hope you enjoy Queensland altho I am sure you will find the humidity very tiring. You both look so well and happy - keep it up. Looking forward to thenext instalment. Take care. Love Bob and Helen. xx

Hey Guys....I'm back in the UK
Cracking photos, that one of Louise and Voodoo man on New Year's eve is bloody genius! Like the photo from the bridge as well, that must have been a cool walk. Glad you got to Plam Beach and saw summer bay, definately a nice part of the north shore. So i'm back in the UK following my NZ adventure. Crap weather, dark nights, loads of traffic....can't beat it! NZ was something else, Wellington is a very cool place so you should enjoy your time there. Kate has a got a really nice house with a cracking view of Wellington, and her house mates are cool as well. Kaikoura was good fun, didn't get to do the whale watching or swimming with dolphins due to poor conditions (too much wind) but we still got to see some dolphins playing in the bay and we walked to the seal sanctuary and got up close and personal with the fur seals so that was pretty special. We then split up and Kate went back to work I headed down to Franz Josef on the West Coast. The 7 hour drive was an epic and scenery is just stunning. Did the heli-hike which was awesome and well worth doing if you're heading that way. Was there for 2 nights and then headed to Abel Tasman National park for 4 nights with 2 days kayaking. Had a great time, the kayaking was brilliant and met some pretty cool people, so again if you're heading that way, definately worth doing. They've kept the National Park really natural, no cars, hotels, just camping sites, completely free of pollution; really loved it. After that i headed back to Wellington to catch up with Kate and a final night before flying back to the UK. She's got some cool friends so we had a good time; its a shame i had to come back but i've got a mortgage to pay! Hope you're having a great time in Queensland, catch up with you soon. Love Si
