Kathy L Hi Al so pleased your both safe and sound, your photo's are fantastic i don't think i could of lived in camper van all that time must be love, enjoy your last few weeks.xx

Charlie Hope you're both OK. Try and post an update soon. XX

Lisa Wanted to put a message on incase James and Ally dont get chance. Eartquake has hit New Zealand James and Ally are both fine but are not moving further at present. Airport has been damaged and closed. Liz' James' mum has spoken to them this morning. They are returning at end of month so hoping airport is fixed for their return.

Charlie Can finally see well enough to catch up on your travels. Both OZ & NZ look and sound fab. Fancy the Saltwater Croc Pizza although I bet it tastes like chicken! You'll be gettin the camper van bug, I'll get Lisa to start on the painting as soon as she can! Enjoy the rest of your trip and dont forget my great big birthday present! XXX

Sam M Oh Ally how happy are you pointing at the Summer Bay sign - I love it! And I thought those surfer dudes were you & James :-) x

Sam M Sydney sounds fab and I'm loving you not being in the proper Seaforth!!!

Wyn and Pete Art Deco city Napier is worth a visit and take a tractor ride along the beach to visit a very smelly Gannet colony.

Lisa Im proper jealous....a month in NZ in a camper van. I want to cry :( Make sure you do the luge in rotorua and go down the advanced slope :)))) Oh and you also need to go boogy board surfing down the sand dunes at cape reinga. We're following all that you're up to and Aus sounds fab xxxx

Liz and Bob Great to hear to met up with Wyn and Pete, we are hoping to get out there to see them one day..... We are looking forward to having the twins with us for a few days, collecting Amy to-morrow and Laura on Friday. Hope NZ is as good as Oz, take care, and enjoy. xxx

hobbo get over to manly on the ferry, quite a smart place. theres a decent boozer on the pacific coast side of the land its only about a 10 min walk form the ferry point.

Sam M So glad you have found the 'one ring'and well done to James for sensibly arranging a substitute. Sounds like you are having a bonzer or should that be boozer time. Loving the blog and photos - enjoy!
