We departed from Sudima airport hotel in Christchurch at 5.15 am to catch our flight to Auckland, to then fly on to Fiji. We landed by 8am and just had a few hours to kill before the second flight to Fiji. The second flight was a bit bumpy with a bit of a skid on the land, but it was fine and as we walked out of the arm of the plane and into the airport we felt the warmth and humidity again - it ...

Hello Folks, We have decided to write a travel blog whilst we are away to keep all you lot (friends and family) up to date with our 12 month RTW adventure: I (Matt) have been given the task (by Kate) of keeping this travel blog up to date whilst we are away. I will say that this website has not got spell check and therefore most words will be spelt incorrectly, however i'm sure Kate will not be short of words and will want to add/check it over/check my spelling mistakes before every blog entry. So far I have handed my notice in at work and Kate has had a career break agreed, we've ... full info

Well done guys, you have successfully helped me pass ten minutes in my friday afternoon in the office! We too did crab racing in the Maldives. Everyone goes crazy like there life depends on it! The thrill! We lost though so clearly we dont have the same eye for it as you guys. Well done on your win! xxx

Hi from Yallingup, Western Australia
Dear Kate and Matt, Is a beautiful freeeezing morning and I am having a cup of tea on my deck watching the sunrise peek over the hill and through the gum trees overlooking my wonderful lake vista. Have been reading your N.Z. blogg, just have not had time to chat. Must have been an amazing sea change going from snow to sand! It sounded wonderful, I would love to visit Fiji one day. Have been really busy (really?) I have just completed a tourism accreditation, which is essentially a major business analysis from A-Z (may as well have been a university thesis!!). And...a day or two from submitting our entry into the W.A. tourism awards, very exciting, tiring and nerve wracking. Kate, thought you would be proud to know we kept your motto, 'Be Brilliant', yes you left your mark Down South and will have your five minutes of fame as your motto is firmly entrenched in the Yallingup Maze Motto and the tourism awards! Well done! However, relaxation is on the horizon...I am off to Bali on Friday with my best friend from school for 10 days. Yay, sun, massages, yoga, read, relax mmmmmmm. Bob is very proud of himself, sold his kangaroo dented, fire wood carter, Mercedes and bought a new wiz bang Volvo sedan daaaarling, he is hilarious when he is in his 'tree planting' (his new project) work clobber with Nana's sheet on the plush cream leather seats. Of course none of us are allowed to take a drive in the new car! Ian wanted to know Matt, what was the best avenue you used whilst here to sell your back packers van? He may very well soon do his inurgaral trip to the Nullabour then sell Bruno's van (-: hence why he is not coming to Bali. That was an interesting choice for me, mmmmm driving in a van for hours across the red dirt vs sun, pool, shopping, massages! What a choice! OK my two favourite English people, we all miss your brilliant happy precence. Must sign off now and lose myself.... Have fun in America! Lots of Love, Amanda xx

Hello my Travellers Kate well done for an amazing travel update. I was laughing my head off, especially about number 11! We are in Croatia at the moment and we hired a sailing boat for 1 week, it was awsome. Now we are back on main land till Tuesday before we head back to Amsterdam on tuesday. You both would love sailing, especially Matt as it is a fab healing for sea sickness. Enjoy the US and keep us posted. Our house warming will be in October and we hope you will be able to make it. We haven't set a date yet, so if the is any date that works better for you let us know. Love and kisses Sandra x
