Hi all,

Just to say hi and let you know where we are!! We are in Auckland at the mo and arrive yest after working our way up from Wellington quite quickly as we only had 6 nights before we flew out to Thailand. We decided to rent out a camper van though after looking everywhere we couldnt find any as they were all booked out! In the end we found one that had just come out of a garage for repair and needed to be taken up from Napia (just after Wellington) up to Auckland within 6 days which way perfect for us and we also got it really cheap as we were doing them a favour!

We have driven it up through Rotarura stopping there for a few night to do anthor luge and also Zorbing.. Me and Sam also did white water rafting which was great and went down a 7mtr waterfall s have got pic on a dvd from that and Jodie went horse riding so am sure she has some pics to. Rotarura was good place but stinks of eggs due to it being round a volcano and there is loads of hot pools and spa's everywhere!

Managed to take the camper back to day which I think we are all very happy about as it was getting quite stressfull especially driving it as it does about 30mph uphill and on a motorway people dont really seem to like you!!

Anyway Thailand tom which means its our last leg of the journey and quite depressing that its come around so soon though on the other hand it would be nice to see everyone and bore them with our pics. Not sure what kind of communication there is there but will try and keep in contact when poss though this maybe the last time we update the website but will see.

The reason I have actually had time to write a lot this time is that in the first time in our travels we have got unlimited internet use so this isnt gonna cut off!!

Saying that must go get some food as gotta lot of eaten to do to get rid of all our food!

Speak soon

Damo, Sam, Jodie
