Sorry to hear your last three days were so rainy, but as you said it gives you a reason to return. Safe travels home and give us a call when you recover.

Love, Kirsten

Hi Everyone,

As Kirsten noted, today (Sunday 20 March) is Robin's birthday. We had a wonderful lunch with some of his Australian cousins, although he is in denial about his age. Apparently, there has been a miscalculation somewhere along the way...

love Glenna

Happy 60th Birthday Robin! Hope you have a wonderful day and a special wine with a five star dinner. Look forward to celebrating your birthday with you in Italy! Love, Kirsten and Oz

This is fabulous! I know you are having a great trip.

Hey to Glenna !

What a fabulous trip! Happy to hear you're avoiding all the REALLY exciting stuff. That's a good plan. Continue to do that. Stay safe and have fun!

Thank you for posting - we were so worried! Love reading your blog, keep us posted and safe travels!

Just to let everyone know we were in Christchurch at the weekend but are now safe in Queenstown, in case you've just heard about the massive earthquake there.

Hi! I've just worked out how to see the photos, looks great. Can you photo the places you are staying in too so I can see what the houses/lodges look like. Hels.
