Hi All

Well me and Jack havent really had a very good weekend at all. On Sunday afternoon we went into Auckland for the afternoon and when we got back to our car someone had broken in and stolen all our belongings. They took my rucksack with all my clothes in, photos, leaflets id been collecting throughout the holiday, walking shoes- well just about everything. They stole Jacks bag too with his camera charger in and to top it all off they had stolen his sketch book with all his drawings in from the last 5 months. Our mobile phones have gone too so we would really appreicate it if you could email us your mobile numbers, that way we can phone you when we get back still.

We were both really upset about it, not just the clothes but the sentimental things such as photos and our dive log books. We can never replace those as its the memoriesn of the fish we have seen and the dives we have done around the world. I dont think i stopped crying for about 5 hours. Every time i thought about what had been stolen i would think about something else and it would set me off again. I was literally left with the clothes i was standing in. I had to go our yesterday and get some pants as the b*****s even stole them!!! od knows what they want with 12 pairs of Marks and Spencers thongs!!!!!!!!!

We have cheered up a bit today and were trying to look on the bright side. At least we still have 5 weeks of holidays left even if all my belongings fit into a plastic bag!!

Well were off now to write up a letter for the insurance company. Hope your all ok,

Love Liz and Jack xxxx
