greetings from a cold fall in norway hi nad and stu ! So nice to hear from you again and your appearently wonderful tour downunder. We shure like traveling with you. By the way, I will be in Perth in some weeks time, so if you remember if any of our tucan friends from Peru was from this area (i think not..) let me know.. Otherwise fine we are (yoda style), but its dark and drab out now...so YOU better enjoy it !
kent and meg
welcome to australia hi guys, glad you enjoyed new zealand, i would love to make it over there one day, it looks like an amazing place. unfortunately no more travels for us for awhile. anyway really hope you guys enjoy australia and all our country offers you and it is an experience you will cherish. keep those emails and photos coming and remember you guys are welcome to stay with us in sydney. you have a willing and able tour guide right here! best wishes andy
Nice weather here Sorry to here you are having bad weather, it has been in the high teens here in sunny Belper.Australia will make up for it. Great to hear from you both, we were beginning to think you had got lost !! Take care of yourselves, look forward to hearing from you hopefully soon xx
Funny you should mention that! Glad to hear your keeping well guys. We are actually meeting up with Lisa tonight for a couple of nights. Off to do a few winery tours in bicycle with her. Should be interesting!!!
Nice haka pic Stu......................... where can i get one????? NZ is just the best eh!!! Get the Speights down ya, and heli-hike Franz Joseff....its wicked! Good backpackers there is The Black Sheep...keeping the Welsh theme going and all that. Definately worth doing Milford Sound and even better (well i think any way) is the Caitlins and Stewart Island right down south...lots of rare wildlife ..Sea Lions, Penguins etc.(Sad but true!!) xxx
I'll keep u company! Hey guys, I'll be more than happy to fill up your dolly a bit! Just tag on to a Kiwi who knows the way 2 ib and pick me up! I dont eat much....................after midnight anyway!! And you wont need to worry about entertainment as I know a whole load of songs i can sing to u!!
yeah tucan Hey guys!
Ammar and I met up with Claire yesterday in San Jose. Apparently she got along quite well with a guy from the tour after ours and he invited her up to where he lives (only a half hour drive from my house) to stay for a few days. We all met up at a Starbucks coffee shop and had a mini Tucan reunion. You were definitely missed. And the crazy part: when we sat down at our table, we saw that the poster on the wall directly above Claire's head said "Antigua, Guatemala" in really big letters. How eerie is that? Anyway, your pictures look amazing. When does the fairytale trip end? Would love to come see what Cardiff is like sometime. I'm thinking of coming to New Zealand at the end of the year so let me know what I should absolutely not miss. Thanks!
Oh well helloooo dolly.... ;o) Good name for the van ;o)

hello dolly (happy days) great to hear your having a brill time in nz. you look as if your getting about without any problems in dolly (what a great way to see the sights) we would really love to be back on the road in our own dolly.you know what they say if you wish hard enough!!!!!!!!!
keep having the time of your life. love to you both tess xxxxxxxx
Rotorua I hear that place stinks, literally! Awesome pics guys, it looks like you are having the time fo your lives.
To top it all off, you should end it in SA - The land where dreams come true...whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
another stunning tour ! I cant belive all the things you get to see and experience ! How we envy you and, how much we love to travel with you "virtually". All fine here in Norway, but fall is coming on strong, and we have plenty of rain these days. Did you have a chance to meet our kiwi companions from the Peru tour ?
All love from Meg and Kent,
hola! /g'day! Hi guys, have loved seeing all your photos! Enjoy NZ - have done the motorhome thing and loved it, sure you will too! Looking forward to seeing you in Melbs.. ! xox
NZ Stuff Hiya, theres so much stuff to reccommend for NZ its hard to know where to start. Mildford Sound on the South Island is a must - dont stay there though stay in Te Anau and do the day trip instead. Also on the South Island theres the Franz Josef glacier where you can do a glacier hike - very hard work but really well worth it! If you're into adventure sports etc. Taupo on the North Island is the cheapest place to skydive and the view is amazing on the way down. Theres a very good hostel in Rororua called 'The Funky Green Voyager'. Can go white water rafting from rotorua to kaituna which is also amazing. In Aukland a meal in the skytower is a must - it looks like it will be really posh and expensive but its really not. Also theres an ice bar in Aukland called -5 which is pretty good. Hope thats helpful - have a wicked time!!
Info on NZ Hello again the intrepid explorers. Just read your latest blog and thought I could help. Jude (my better half) travelled both islands at the end of last year and I will get her to post a Lonely planet style blog by the end of this week. Good to see you are both having a great time and enjoy NZ. Keep entertaining us!!! Al and Jude.
New Zealand I think Robs shown me these last letters in the wrong order. Anyway New Zealand is fantastic we envy you, when you are on North Island you must visit The Gumdiggers Tea Rooms, if you are passing, fabulous pies and puddings, Rob will give you directions...... from Auckland north on SH1 for 115k to Maungaturoto, turn left onto SA12. 20k from turn off is GTR, great tucker.....who's ate all the pies. you fat b.....d!!!!!
Take care
New Zealand Hiya both. Very jealous of your next destination, we are going there for honeymoon and hiring a motorhome, what company did you hire it with as we havenot booked that yet. Gutted about the lack of thong action though......glad to here there havent been any tears for a while, earlier travelblogs had rather alot and was getting a bit concerned xxx
If in north island of nz make sure you go to bay of islands and hole in the rock but stay in russel as opposed to pahia. make sure you do the corramandel including hot water beach a must, great fun. mt rupaiua(no idea how to spell) near lake taupo awesome. love hearing sories o x o
you promised what happened, you said the thong bit was a go, and i thought you was up for any thing? sorry nads but he did say he would send a picture. well never mind there is allways the stag night!!!!!!!!!!!
love to both xxxxxxxx
Aaaaaaahh!! New Zealand :o) The trip sounds great so far, and New Zealand next - how lovely. :o) Just make sure you take ID if you go clubbing in Auckland! ;o) Eat some Kumara for me :o) - how am I supposed to get back to work now!?! xxx
Mmmmmm Tangoing! So you don't recommend it then?!! Glad you have had some time to chill out, you seem to have been 'full on' up until now. Look forward to the next leg of your trip xx
i'm so proud of nadine putting her foot down, if she didn't where would it stop? you both look like you're having an amazing time. missing you both x x take care
