Well, it just feels like we are in a magical land of some kind. Everything sparkles and glistens, all trees and roof tops are sprinkled with snow, lots of sheep about, cold, but the sun is always shining. The cobwebs freeze over with frost and snow flakes making them look like sparkling diamante, candy floss which reflects the beautiful sunlight from the bright sun in the big blue sky - a hint of...

Welcome to our travelblog site. Over the next 12 months keep up to date with all our adventures as we try to make it around the world. Starting off by flying to Delhi on the 14th September 2006, we are hoping to make it through as many places as our money will take us. It's been a while coming, but with after graduating from Uni and decided enough was enough at work, we headed to the travel agents to buy these tickets. An easy decision really and realising that we might just have the money to do this, or at least get us half way, we finally paid up and there was no turning back. As I ... full info

Another superb set of photographs supported by an articulate description of events, ten out of ten. Milford Sound is a very historic area, and looks beautiful in its winter showing. Your experiences and travels have been great to follow, thanks to your consistent reports. It makes me wnat to dig out my passport and pack my case. My next trip of which I have already done some homework on is to tour Newfoundland but with our pending house move it will have to wait a little while. Keep supplying your exciting commentary's and look forward to your next installment. Take care of each other ,stay safe. Love Grandad Granmum. xxx

You've wasted no time in getting 'stuck in' to New Zealand! How are you handling the shock of climate change? Are you merely putting on brave faces - or are you really enjoying it as much as the excellent pictures suggest? Have you located Upper Hutt? Will take a copy of this latest update of your journal to Nicky's birthday lunch tomorrow, with a copy for Gran, but page 2 won't print for some reason. If you do have time to track down Andy Wardle, he might bore you schitless with his QPR videos (Sorry Chris, I don't imagine he's even heard of Liverpool living that far away from Merseyside!)

How beautiful everything looks. The most amazing photos - those icicles are unbelievable. The Tasman Sea looks very calm in your picture - it wasn't like that when I was crossing it all that time ago. Waves coming over the top of the ship!! quite scary - we were all locked inside. It is one of the roughest passages of water on earth I think. I love those seals just sitting there. It does look truly amazing - I hope one day to get there and see myself! I agree with Rachel - my favourite pictures yet!! love you - Mum
