Wow! Glad you enjoyed your second visit to Wellington! Sounds like you had the same sort of impressions of NZ as we did, totally fell in love with the people, the food and the surroundings. Enjoy the rest of your trip! If I can recommend one place in Fiji it would have to be Manta Ray Island - it's amazing.

Great NZ pics The pictues in your blogs from NZ have made me really envious. Always wanted to visit, as I nearly emigrated twice (once when I was a teenager and once when Trevor was shortlisted for a job there when our kids were little). Glad to hear that you and Clio enjoyed the experience.
New Zealand Wow, Sounds like your having such an amazing time out there guys, have to say im extremely jealous, but really glad your having such a good experience!
There is a couple from New Zealand who live and work in Crail, who are frequent drinkers in the pub that i work in, however i made the big mistake of telling them that my brother is travelling in their homeland! They have since not stopped talking to me about the place, and the woman actually felt the need to show me some weird type of greeting that they do over there! This consisted of her grabbin my head as if she was going to either headbutt or kiss me then rubbing her nose on mine!! ( i was sober and quite scared)... Have you come across this ? x
Just yesterday during another
Wow! Sounds like you're having so much fun!! I loved New Zealand and it makes me sick with jealously that you're there having so much fun. I can vouch for the fact that it does actually get very very hot, when we were staying near Auckland it was around 46c with a burn time of 5 minutes!! Gutted you had a bad experience of Wellington, we lived there for about 4 months and loved every minute of it.
When I was in Asia and said my name was Lisa, everyone said "Oh, like the perfume??" still haven't seen a perfume called Lisa... haha.
Keep enjoying the rest of your travels! I'm sure you will.... xxx
LA The Warner Brother Studios tour sounds amazing, the best way to end the America part of your travels. I bet Clio loved all the costumes and I know you might have touched them anyway ;)
Love the photo's.

OMG That man talking about the Greyhound buses sounded well scary! I bet it was really really good to see Maddie. At least when you continue travelling some of the people will speak different languages - it may actually be a good thing! It all sounds really exciting though and the photos are great. Keep on enjoyinh yourselves. x x x
Fantastic to be able to see what you guys have been up to. The story of the mental man on the bus really made me laugh!! Look forward to the next episode in the 'Poperson' tales! Love to you both xx
Sounds like you are both having a fab time. Loving here the fun stories and seeing your pics. Put some more on pleaasssee, its a bit of escapism whilst Im in work. Miss u both loads. Write again soon. Lots of love Dan xx P.S Clio Ill send you a message on facebook over the next few days to update you with my exciting life, ha xxxxxx
Sounds like you're having an interesting time and look forward to seeing all the pics.
Now you know why I made the decision to support Spain in the World Cup and Nadal for Wimbledon ( I am a sort of Spaniard these days!)
Kristen sends a hello! Hey you two lovelys, sounds like you have kicked started the trip in style! I expect nothing less!!! Glad you have arrived safely and I look forward to hearing more of your fun and frolics as time goes on! Look after each other and have fun K xx
US During my one short visit to the States many years ago, I found the people just as friendly as you say. There was always someone willing to talk to me in bars and, more importantly, buy me a drink! Money was short in those days as I'm sure it will be again after tomorrow's "emergency" budget.
Glad everything is panning out well although I don't expect Clio was very impressed at being locked out of your own room.
I really enjoyed your post from San Francisco, and am so glad that you're enjoying California so far! My blog is looking for travel reviews, photos, etc, to share. If you have the time, check it out at dirty-hippies.blogspot.com, or email me at dirtyhippiesblog@gmail.com. Continued fun on your travels!

bye bye bye... Alright you two - lovely to see you both at your doo and thanks so much for having us back. have a ball, and cant wait to see you when you're back xxxxx
empty flat - full house! The flat may be empty but Clio's old room in our house is crammed! It will certainly be a constant reminder while you're away, and I just hope the clothes still fit Clio when you both get back.
Bon voyage for tomorrow and we'll be thinking of you.
Hello fellow didsbury escapee! Just seen you're blog and thought I'd say a quick hello. We live in West Didsbury but leave for 6 months travelling at the end of May. We're going through Europe then Russia and then working our way down through south east Asia. Very excited. Enjoy you're trip...
Hello and welcome to Team Poperson's travel blog... for just over 9 months we're going to be travelling around USA, New Zealand, Fiji, Australia, Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam and Hong Kong, in a quest to see how many embarrassing situations we can get ourselves into!
