north island again

hiya

Hope you are all ok and enjoying the fog!!!!! It is just so so hot and lovely here it is 32 with a nice gentle wind to keep you cool I am not rubbing it in Honest te he he. We are in oz and the mo but will blog about the north Island in NZ. Sorry it is late we just did not stop in NZ, we did not realise just how big it was Doh!!!!

NZ is just so so lovely and have never been to a place where just about every bend you go around you go WOW NZ is awesome.

The first day we went to the bay of plenty and followed the coastal road, just amazing. We went to a camp site which was a first for me. Well if I was worried about sharing a toilet and shower with a couple of people in Kyoto, we had to share with 100's of people. To have a shower you push a button (which is outside) you get 8 min of warmish water, well I did not make it and was left with conditioner on my hair and cold water lovely!!!! However we really got into camping you end up looking a mess but do not care. We used the camp site washing machines (which look like some thing out of the 70's) they are so rubbish that they shrunk my clothes, it has got nothing to do with all the food that I have been eating honest!!!! As you will see from the pictures we having been enjoying our food.

Rotorua is full of thermal activity which means it is very very smelly but amazing bubbling mud steam and amazing pools.

Matt and I of course did the things you have to do when in NZ, bungey jumping, cave black water rafting YER RIGHT!!! I do not get it, they are all mad.

Hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy new year.

Love Dee

there is nothing wrong with looking like something from the 70s dear!!!

Bloody hell ...
.... can you sodding believe it, the baby has just woken up !!! NZ looks really, really beautiful - much better than the outlook here - even without the bloody fog!! Laughed out loud re the shrunken clothes - bet you look really sexy, eh ?!?! Matt must need even more trouser pocket adjusting now (tight trousers and all that - just incase my joke did not make sense - which, I admit, they rarely do except to me !?!?) Must dash - boobs are now leaking and everyfink?!? Will send an email with a new photo of Lily-Mae - she has changed already - a bit worried as she appears to have inherited her Uncle Randolph's rather fetching frown .... !?!?!?!?! Lots of love to you guys xxxx

Dave apoligies if your replies not being posted. I read (and laughed) and posted them on the blog. They are up on mine. Hope this one comes up. Are you sure its not you? I know how northeners find it difficult to work with I.T. If it was a cotton mill well no prob at all :)
