Hi Travellers,
Well, Sydney Harbour Bridge! A great start to your arrival in Sydney & yes, we would love to have surprised you by popping up at the bus station as you stepped off in search of your first overnight stay. Sorry...The budget just wouldn't stretch that far. Sounds like you've got some good friends ready to make you welcome in the weeks that lie ahead in Melbourne & NZ. Have a great time & keep snapping away with that camera. Love Mum & Dad xxxx

Hi S & V,

As my folk's (Keith and Lasi) post has just said, 'Welcome Down-Under!'.
Hope you're having a great time so far and you've brought your winter woolies for the trip to the South Island. When you arrive, look us up and we'll set you in the right direction over a couple of vinos. Best bet would be to contact me on my email. I'm pretty much 12 hours a day.

Cheers Shane

Hi V & S,
Welcome to the Pacific looking forward to our trip to Queensland and then meeting you back here.
Love the photos of Oz, a bit warmer than here at present although it hasnt been too bad.
So far ski season in Queenstown area has flopped due to warmer than normal temperatures.
Some snow in central North island but thats well away from here.

Shane will be in touch through here shortly to make arrangements re Christchurch.

In case we get so carried away with our trip just to confirm our arrangements, we return to NZ on 29 August, you are welcome to stay with us for myour time in upper North Island, I have a new yacht, hopefully I can take you out for a sail. Best option will be to call us when approaching Auckland, our national number is 09 476 2991.
Looking forward to meeting, happy travelling
Cheers Keith

G'day Folks how are you doing?

Will call you soon - Cheers Si and Vic xx

Hello,

I have just been catching up on all of your adventures, glad to hear that you're both doing well.
All is well here in London, still working away, I don't like the real world with no big summer break!
We had a bit of a reunion on saturday night with the leicester pose (i.e Han and Sarah). We found a new bar, nice and quiet! We all got ID'ed!! I think the barman regretted it when hannah started to launch into tales of being a secondary school teacher!!
Anyway we enjoyed ourselves.
Right better go, i'm off to Tesco's to buy lunch, you never now i might go wild and treat myself to something from their "finest" range!
Take care and keep having fun!!!
