Its a beaut - don't ya think?

Morning view - Kaikora
Pretty nice to wake up to, especially as we didn't have to pay to sleep here.

Bull kelp
The largest kelp in the world

Cathedral Cliffs
So called because they look like the pipes of an organ - Gore Bay

Alpine village
View from golf course camping spot - doesn't really show how remote it was but there was not a soul about for probably 20-30km to the next village.

Wow
looks amazing guys. Shame about the heli trekking. Can I have a copy of the Lake photo - would look great blown up! Nothing much going on here. England lost at rugby again! Weather crap. Still very much looking forward to South Africa and there's Alex Webb's wedding in a couple of weeks which should be a lot of fun. Take care of yourselves and enjoy the rest of NZ in the camper (nicer interior decor than Will and Kate's - although it's a pity about the Thetford!) Lots of love, Giles

Hiya
Your lake photo is stunning, one of you is obviously a budding photographer! Love the campervan! Take care Lynds

Cheers Lynds
Though I think it may have more to do with the new swanky digital camera I brought rather than any hidden genius. Though the landscape is so beautiful it would be pretty hard to take a crap picture! Hope all's well your end, say hi to John, love Rachxxx

Glad you guys are having a fab time. It feels funny seeing your pics after being there ourselves - makes me want to jump on a plan and hope over to see you out there! Remember if you need a bed in Queens Town my friend Matt lives out there. Lots of the usual happening here so you're nt missing much. We've moved out of Ashchurch Grove and are in Hackney at the moment, hoping the sale of our house goes through before Christmas. Good luck with the rest of your stay in NZ - enjoy! When are you off to Asia? Big kisses, The Proh's xx

Yo Yo! Glad you are loving your trip. Wish we were with you. Enjoy NZ, I think it is one of the best places on our beautiful planet. When are you off to South East Asia. Remember - if you pass Queenstown (you probably already have if you're by the glacier) my friend Matt lives there and would always give you a bed. No major news here. We've moved out of the Bush, now living in Hackney until the sale of our house goes through, hoping to be in before Christmas. Looking forward to seeing you. Big kisses, one love, The Proh's xx

Festive wishes
Hey guys, Seconding Giles' comment about the lake shot - it is fantastic Rach, keep up the good work! Glad to hear you are loving NZ even if the weather's trying to thwart you (sure the wine will make up for it). I am amazed that none of the Griffiths have spoken about the cricket to you yet, so here's my v. basic amateur report (the others will give you a far more polished review): we started really bad, got a bit better and apparently are heading for a draw. Just ask Kate about the OBO too... No sign of winter proper (snow etc) altho the Xmas trees went up today in the office and our party is tommorow night (will attempt to not make idiot of self, fingers crossed!). Loads of Laahhdaahhnn love Lxxx
