We made it to Windy Welly (just - the ferry crossing was a bit like some scenes from Titanic - we all ended up on our chairs in a pile at one end of the cafe as the boat tipped so much - our video footage is quite funny!!) Plus camping in a gale force 10000000 storm last night (slight exaggeration there!) we didn't have a very good nights kip!! Off to explore the North island now in the next 7 days - then off to some warmth in Fiji!!!........i'm still freezing an...

We are now in Queenstown - it's so pretty here - an alpine town in the middle of gorgeous mountains & lakes. It's our first pretty hot day too - and we're sat on the bloody internet!!! Anyway - some more pictures have gone on ...so check them out!! Karla xx

Hi guys - we made it to NZ!!! The scenery is breathtaking here - we camped at the base of Mount Cook (NZ's highest mountain!) the other day and tramped (NZ for walk!!) to see the Tasman glacier!! It's a bit chilly though - our tent is full of blankets to warm us up at night!!!! Love Karla xx

Hi guys - this is our last postcard from OZ!! We leave for Christchurch on the 9the Feb so have got a few last days in Sydney! We've had such a feb time in OZ - i'll be sad to go - just a good excuse to come back another time!!! Miss you all Love Karla xx

Well, we've made it Cairns - and Em & Johnny have left us all on our own again! The Whitsundays Sailing adventure was AMAZING!!! Got plently more to see and do yet though - but on a very tight budget - the last month has wiped me out!!! love y'all xx
