hi everyone,

claire and i had a little trouble with writing to you all in fiji. seems as though they havent discovered some of the uploads needed to write on this web page over there yet!

anyway, we had a brilliant time in fiji. pictures will follow of sunshine and gorgeous scenery. while you're at it though, there should be some of the photos we took in nyc if you want to check them out.

however, we're now into new zealand and ready to do some proper travelling! we've already had a trip up auckland's sky tower which offers amazing views of nz's largest city (and makes your knees tremble a bit!) it's a bit cooler here than in fiji and scarves and gloves have already been dug out of the bottom of our huge bags claire's mum got us for xmas.

please be patient with this sta travel thing. it can be a bit temperamental (if that's how you spell it) but it remains the best way of showing you all pics as we go along so we're trying to stick with it.

anyway, gonna dash. will keep in touch. hope everyone is well back in the uk and not getting too wet!

love to all

dan and claire
