Glad your enjoying yourself! Hi Rach,
Glad you're having such a goof time. Photos on blog are great. Thought I'd finally catch up with you as Helen is always telling me to! Kate is marrying Mark next year and training to be a ....teacher! God help us. I.ve moved on and am really enjoying the new challenge. Looking forward to reading more of your travels soon Much love

Fun in NZ So that's where Rob ended up! I thought he'd been kidnapped.....however it was just you too; hope you dropped him off in a safe place :) Looks like you had a great time on the North Island, those beaches look bloody brilliant. You will have a great time on the south island, if you want more amazing beaches get yourself to Abel Tasman, absolute heaven. Al is skiing this week, which sounds great, but he's got to look after a bunch of school kids which sounds terrible! The weather has gone back to normal, so no more snow which is a shame, was quite enjoying that, me and Al had a snowball fight on the way back from the pub, it was great fun, two thirty-somethings acting like 5-year olds, best Monday night i've had in ages!
Have a great time on the South Island, looking forward to the next blog.
All the best,
Si
Aussie Hi Lucy:
I am really enjoying all the installments of your blog and of course all your fun in Australia. Naturally you won't find N.Z. nearly as much fun. Perhaps I am prejudiced!! Les was sorry not to have had a chance for a visit in Melb. but maybe next time??? She has now moved back to Canberra. Good thing you left before the ghastly fires. Have fun in beautiful N.Z. from beautiful Western Canada. love, Joan
Wellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll What can I say, looks like your having a ball.
Roy and I have booked our visit to Oz leaving here on the 30th March stopping at Singapore on route. We will be away 5 weeks.
Have fun.
Luv June x
Hey hey! Good to see I got a mention :-) I finally added those camping pics, think i tagged you guys in enough. C u on the pork + apple sausage side of the world soon hey? Take care Xx
hello AH reading about your latest travels has brought back so many memories of my trip to Fraser Island many many years ago! Sounds like you're having the best time! Take care.x
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

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
Christmas Hi girls, so good to hear from you again. Sorry I am late in sending christmas greetings but Bob read your blog while I was at the hospital visiting a friend on christmas eve and forgot to tell me. Consequently with the rush and tear of the season I have only just seen it, today 28th. Anyway where do I start - we went up to Jan's on 13th and saw meg sing 2 solo's in church on 14th, then went to her school play (Grease) on 15th. She was Patti Simcox and brill and as Connor said loud, no need for a mik .We came home on 16th lunch out on 18th and 19th, Bobs half sisters wedding on 20th and after that I lost track, spending as much time as I could with Dora in hosp. Christmas day we spant with John, Sharon and family staying overnight and coming home on Boxing day. On Saturday we had christmas day at home with 4 friends - no not turkey but salmon as alighter option!!. 27th found us in Weymouth taking Granny out for lunch and then present exchange at the flat. Today I have done nothing not even made it up to the hosp - I shall get back into gear tomorrow and on new years eve we are hosting our full turkey dinner with more friends. Wishing you both a great new yrar and looking forward to hearing from you. Enjoy Aussie espescially Sydney - its amazing. Happy New Year girls. Much love Bob and Helen xxx.
It's really good to hear from you Rachael. I am really enjoying hearing about your exciting adventure.Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New year. Keep in touch. Love from Liz
