Hi Minger & Rob !!! (sorry Ali!)

How are you guys? Looks like you are both having a fab time - you lucky b*****s!!

Hey - spoke to my sister in NZ and she has suggested the following (but you prob know anyway, but could help!)

Spend more time in the South Island (more breath taking views apparently!)

Noth Island (Wellington) over to the South Island and down ........... Abel Tazman (beaches), Malborough Sounds (water,walking), Kaikoura (Whales!!!!!), Christchurch (can meet see my sister!!), Wanaka (Ski town), Queenstown (beautiful scenery) - (Glenorchy), Milford Sounds (doubtful is the nicer and less touristy), Mount Cook (mountains), Tekapo (lake), back to Christchurch!!!

North Island - Bay of islands, Coramandal, Kaitaire & Ninety Mile Beach!!

A def are the glaciers like we spoke about before you left!

Hope this helps a little!! Hope your having a great time in OZ & look forwrad to seeing more pics.

Take care - LOL A & S x x x

Have a great time in Oz - would you do me a favour, give my big sis a hug from me!

Looking forward to some more photos - by the way, can you put them on straight, we are all getting cricks in the neck at CPH !!

Have fun,

Cynthia

At last some photos! Lots of pictures of people and almost none of the places you have been! Do you think we have forgotten what you look like already! Looks like are having fun in all of them.

Was Melboune buzzing with the Grand Prix? Great to see Lewis win it too!

Have a great time in OZ and keep sending those pics, preferably of places you have visited!

Love to both,

G'day guys - hope you're ok and that you have managed to contact Sheila (you just had to met someone with that name!). Are you staying in Melbourne for a few days? Let me know when you might be meeting up with Stephen, or any other family members. I see the weather is very hot there at the moment - around 38/40 degrees.

Try and get some photos loaded now you're back in civilisation 'cos we are all waiting to see how fab a time you have been having.

Take care, love and miss you,

Mum xxxx

Rob, I have had a call from HSBC - can you call me when possible.

Mum xx

Hey Kids!!

WOW, amazing stuff!! So mega jealous! Forget what mum said Ali, bring that tiger cub back!! Nice work with the banana rob, actually cried with laughter at that bit!! hehe!! Have an awesome last day in Samui and safe onward journey. Look forard to the next blog. Stay safe, love you and miss you loads xxx

P.s. Mark sends more love to Rob!! (Ali I'm slightly worried, not gonna lie)!!

Dude and Dudette...

this is so cool!! keep posting so we can all keep laughing

keep having an awesome time

Well, like everyone else, we are feeling very envious but so glad you are have the best time. It must have been awesome to cuddle a tiger cub, but Ali customs won't let you through with one so no sneaking one into your bag.

Ian has just played his first league game of squash in 14 months and won so is very elated but also shattered, so I'll get a quiet night too. However, he has managed to make me dinner first - smoked haddock tart. I hope you are sampling lots of authentic local foods (and I don't mean magic mushrooms) and not just eating tinned beans!

Last day on Samui tomorrow so hope its a fab day and a safe trip back to Bangkok.

Love and miss you loads, Mum and Dad xxxx
