A Couple of Questions Suzanne and Pete,
I looks like you are having or had a great trip. You and Pete have had so many trip. My first question is how does the Africa trip rate among all your trips? I am assuming it must be in your top five, since you met on that trip and that was probably a plus.
My second question is did you get the earring that I mailed to your brother Geoffrey in England?
Take care,
Dave
NZ Hi Bev. Good to hear from you and thank you. Hope you and Ron are well and enjoying life
We have 4 months in Cairns from May next year looking after Ian's place.
Safe Travels What an adventure you two have had. Enjoy the last bit and hopefully you can sleep during the long flight home.
I noticed that you had we were from Toronto but we’re actually in Calgary and again we welcome you to come visit us. Your Canadian friends Janice & Doug
Calgary Hi Janice and Doug, Great to hear from you! Not sure where I typed that you were from Toronto as I definitely know that you are from Calgary! So sorry about that! You both made our trip extra special as we really enjoyed your company. Keep well and let's hope that we meet up again! 😋
Home to NZ Always good to hear from you Dawn as it would seem a lot of friends and family read our blog but not too many leave comments like you. We really appreciate it as it gives me encouragement to continue as I sometimes think that I may be boring everyone when I get no response!😊 Thank you.
Home sweet Home! Hello Travelling Kiwis. You are on the last stretch of your travels, but what a great experience. You can definitely say "you.ve been everywhere, man"
Great about your heat wave too. Why don't I get one when I am in UK???? Its spring in Aussie now so we are settling at between 16= 26 degrees down here in Melbourne.
Its very nice.
Well folks, enjoy you last few weeks in UK then safe travels back down under. You'll be right.! Thanks for the pictures and your news. We can have a good chat when you are back in Lynmore!!!
And maybe meet up again in 2024. That would be very nice. Take care. God speed. Love Kyra xx
NZ Hi Kyra
Lovely to hear from you! We really have had a great time but also looking forward to home. Seems such a long time since we caught up. When we see Jacqui and Ernie on our return we will give you a group call. Hope you are keeping well and still travelling!
England Hi Dawn. Good to hear from you. Yes we are really having a ball on this trip. The weather is good to at the moment. Our latest cat sit is going well and just one more to go and then it is on the plane back to NZ. The four months have flown by! When are you going to come and visit us in NZ. There is always a bed for you both.
Greetings from Glendale California It looks like you are having a great trip. Are you going to Portugal? Claudia and I got back about 6 weeks ago and we had a good time (except for the mild Covid I got). If you are thinking about going to Portugal, Pete may be interested to know that the beer is cheap there. The wine is good too! The tour we went on often provided wine with the meals so we had our fair share of wine.
Suzanne, are you wearing an English women soccer jersey, now that your team is in the World Cup finals? I am trying to forget how the US women team did.

England Hi Dave, Good to hear from you. We have been to Portugal and visited Porto a few years ago and loved it. So sorry that you got covid. Pete has had a cough and cold but again like you only a mild case. He annoyingly then passed it in to me but thankfully I am coming right now. We have not tested ourselves for covid as we forgot to pack the test kits. Life has been non stop as you can imagine but now we just have two car sits so the days are not so hectic. Four weeks and we will be home! Still hoping to host you in NZ someday!
Moving on Hiya Suzanne and Peter,
It’s good to hear that you’re enjoying yourself exploring our green and pleasant land. You’ve probably seen more of it than most of us who’ve spent our lives here 😂 but keep on going and telling us all about everything.
Love, Elaine and John

Quaint old England Hi Prue. Good to hear from you! Yes we are having a great time and all that months of planning did pay off. Our first cat sit has been brilliant and we leave for our next one in two days and again just cats. Off to Europe the week after for a month so we are looking forward to that. Think we have been drinking too much so trying to attempt a few dry days! Hope all is well with you and B.😄
Good Old Oldham Hiya Suzanne and Peter.
So glad your travels around England are going well. We loved spending time with you and are hoping you might be back!
If you get the chance please could you resemd me your itinerary (the first one disappeared into the ether and I’ve now lost track of where you’re going next! Happy Travels and best wishes from Elaine and John x
4 August, 2012 - Peter and Suzanne, being of the Baby Boomers generation, are now setting forth on the next travel phase of our lives. We met many years ago in Cape Town, South Africa, Suzanne from Oldham in England and Peter from Cambridge in New Zealand, on an overland expedition taking six months to get to London. A year later we then journeyed from London to Australia overland taking 10 months. We settled in Rotorua, New Zealand, had 3 great kids who are now doing their own thing and it is now, excitingly, time for us to recommence where we left off. We have, with much trepidation on my... full info
