Pancakes Oh to be in Tokyo now the weekend is here! Though I might not do justice to the breakfast as I have had the virus from hell this week .But that would definitely not stop me trying.Grace is surely an ace hostess you lucky devils. Luv mumxxx& dadxxx
And now, the end is near, and so we face the final flights back ... Well done guys - you must have ticked off 90% of the wish list at least! Have fun in the States & see you soon in freezing Blighty! F1 x (aka Sisco)
We can't wait to see you both and all the photos when you get home. Enjoy catching up with your friends in the US and hope the leg room on that route is slightly better (I hope I've planned it right anyway!!!) Only 7 weeks to go and we'll be off so definitely want to steal some ideas for what to do in Northland!!!
Take care, speak soon

Fantastic Hey honnies - it all looks so fantastic! Yes - that downward slope with all the shale was a nightmare. That was where Kev went A over T trying to show me how to do it fast instead of hobbling down like a retard! But at least I still had skin on my shins! There can't be that much left to see now. I think you will be able to say -'We have DONE New Zealand' by the time you get home!
Can't wait for the next blog. Love - Cheryl xxxxx
Errol Flynn No way - I went on Errol Flynn's yacht when I was in Taupo! They were all a similar price so it was the Errol Flynn factor which clinched it for us. Looks like you're having a great time. Are you sure Phil wasn't responsible for some of the eggy smells in Rotorua?
boysenberry wine hi both.
Glad you made it to Picton, it's mad how they just close roads (especially as there's probably no other route through!!!)
we really liked wellington too.
Shame about the wine, look out for boysenberry wine, it is a deep red colour and it will definitely give you the belly warm you were after. it is ross's favourite. it is definitely made in taranaki, not sure if it is made/sold elsewhere. I would liken it to a port - not the flavour, but the rich warmness and don't need a large amount of it - but I don't try telling ross that as he disagrees (unless we're in england with only one bottle of it and then he savours every last drop!!!)
keep the updates coming, glad you're still having great time
love jo and ross x
Tattoo Phil that is one awesome tattoo. D wants one quite badly now but I think it is a bit far for him to travel especially for that. Maybe one day. Keep the posts coming when you need a break from all the activities. Jealous of all the animal bits myself.
bloody hell Bloody hell, flic on a pony. Thought you didn't see the point of horses?!!
(just an aside - met helen milner whe i was out riding last week. Apparently works in the next village and Lindsay Reilly is local too. Chuffin small world!)
Hi both, you have really crammed it in!good picture - Ross is having terrible flash backs now!!!! How was the canyon swing - looks amazing, we can't see videos so will have to wait til you're home to see them. loving the updates and the photos. looking forward to some pics of milford sound.
take care and keep enjoying it

Wow Looks like you are having an amazing time - you are going to need a holiday when you get back.
What a fabulous honey moon!!!!!
I'll await your next update.
Love and hugs

Sorry we missed you Shame we didnt get chance to say goodbye but we have just got back from our holiday (not quite on the same scale as yours). You do seem to have packed in loads already, night snowboarding sounds cool.
Keep the blogs and photos coming we have caught up with the ones we missed and are ready for more.xxXxx
Hey there Good to see a blog up and running - I'll watch the Facebook vids from home tonight. Wish we were out there with you - all you are missing back here is a grey September morning. Make the most of your trip - I have a feeling you will like NZ. Phil - try a Waikato draught beer when you get up to the North Island purely for comedy value - it's possibly the worst beer I have ever tasted. Stick to the Mac's Gold.

Good blog
Enjoyed reading your blog guys. Phil - did Disney World remind you of that classic Beverly Hills Cop 3?
