A very entertaining read on my lunch break dears. Have been trying to stifle my laughter at the pic of rach in your little car, very funny. A woman in my office just saw the pics and got excited because she has been there too (and cracked her head open on the concrete!) Looks absolutely beautiful and i hope Betty is looking after you both. Flights all booked so will speak to you soon. Have fun kiddos! Love you both lots xxx
Adrenaline overdose! Can't believe that you rafted over a 7m waterfall - I'm glad I didn't know about your plans before you did it! Having said that, you could probably do some white water rafting in Cockermouth at the moment, though the submerged cars may be a bit of a hazard!
Tom - You must admit that a 20m diameter tree is a much more impressive stat! I now think that the vegatation is pretty tame in NZ whereas before I had an image of the walking trees from Lord of the Rings!!
Sounds like you're having a fantastic time and I'm loving the blog. Stay safe both, Mum xxx
Rachels error The biggest tree did not have a diameter of 20m, Rachel means that it had a circumference of 20 meters, which for people who dont understand these terms (such as Rachel) means that it was 20 meters around, not from one side to the other. Quite an important distinction, the tree was pretty damm big but its diameter was a full 3.1415926535897932384 times smaller than Rachel has said.
fantastic I've entered the 21st century. I am reading a blog. New Zealand looks incredible. Betty's roof does look pretty darn comfortable. I do hope you gave that massive tree a massive hug. I'm currently in the process of getting Marcus organised; a gargantuan task for one man I know but we WILL be joining you in Singapore. Well. Not really sure what else to say except that you don't need that comma in your second sentence; it should be two separate sentences or use a semi colon. I'm very sorry. I'm extremely pedantic I know.
Love you both.
last email I've managed to read the blog - must have been having an attack of IT dumbness earlier - anyway figured out how to navigate it now! NZ looks amazing, Dad and I will be adding it to our bucket list!
Stay safe both,
Mumxx
So Tom and I are finally setting off on our round the world trip with a 26 hour flight to NZ tomorrow! In total we plan to spend 7 months visiting the following countries; New Zealand, Australia, Indonesia, Thailand, Loas, Cambodia, Vietnam, China, Nepal and India. Hope you enjoy reading!
