Mum Katie, You were quite softly spoken on the video clip but I could get the gist of what you were describing. How genuine was your smile, Martin? Had the look of someone who was made to go on the school sponsored walk. The North Island does look very different, harsher somehow and maybe less dramatic but definitely interesting despite it being "smelly". At least your clocks went back ours went forward. Look forward to the next instalment. Nathan at home now. Fantastic win yesterday 5:0 against Sunderland! XX
