We're back....................and London survived!.

nan and I go to London tomorrow. Thought I'd leave you a message just in case we don't make it back again. How was the boat ride to south island? We saw Tara, she has booked her trip now, she leaves early october about two weeks after you get back. she wants to pick your brains cos shes going to new zealand later on in her travels. The girls are singing on monday in the junior arts festival. Right I'm off now and maybe I'll tell you what we get up to in London

Damn! I knew I should have stayed! I have a fitness program worked out for you! Then we can do the Inca Trail in Peru! I'll write & text you soon! xxXxxXXXxXXxxxxxXXXXxx

Nah should be alright for addresses i think really. im on south island now. Its very cool! literally. It feels like xmas is coming!! i dont mind the cold, its nice and crisp. SO long as it doesnt rain! The boat ride over was really cool as well! Its mostly pine trees here at the moment.
Heres one for you merv.... when we get to mahinapua or whatever its called we are staying in a pub and it has theme parties. Ours is going to be.... Air guitar!!!! Who would so win that! Yoy can air guitar to slayer!!!
ok bye for now from Nelson.xxx

well at least we know that weston doesn't have all the sad people. That was a very calculating sad person wouldn't you say. Do you need some addresses? I can give them to you on msn next time your on.

how strange. im in the river valley between taupo and wellington. Its right in the middle of nowhere. The sleeping dorms are sooo strange. Basically there are 32 people all sleeping in the same bed. I think i would enjoy this more if i knew any of the people, the people on this bus are really....annoying. most are in packs, one girl is of the opinion that nobody over the age of 25 should be allowed on the bus because that is too old... shortly after she realised she was 24....yes she was blond. Im glad to be staying here the one night! It pouring with rainat the moment and its pretty cold. I really just want to get down south now and get a job.
heres a weird thing..... i was writing a post card today, i went to my address book to find the post code, but it wasnt there, eventually after being very confused i realised that the pages were missin. I was still confused, i search my bag incase they fell out or something, i think maybe the people i shared a dorm with decided to rip them out.... bit strange tho............ finally i realise........when i went to the toliet last on my way to the internet with my address book, i left the book on the side in the toliet. I remembered later and went back to get it. I didnt relaise till today that someone has obviously used my book pages as toliet paper.... as i remember there was no toliet paper in that toliet. But they were perfectly kind enough to only tear out the pages that had addresses on... only the first page of each letter. So THANKS VERY MUCH TO WHOEVER DID THAT. it doesnt really matter but it is kind of annoying thinking of that girl sat on the toliet doing that.
I hope you are all sweet as. Well bye for now. xxxxxxxxxx

weel here i go on meown again. i will have to think for myself again...b*****! hello phil yes of course i think about you all the time.... i still see your ugly mugg in my nightmares everynight!!! im off to south island this week. I will post some more pics here soon. anyway bye for now...... miss you all lots..... and lots and lots

Merv how could you have sent that text telling me you were going in a helicopter. You know I hate the nasty, dangerous things!! Glad to hear you're having lots of fun and what's money for but to be spent. I'm off today to spend some of my own. I'll see you when I get back. Sam, sorry for using your site to send messages for Merv but hope you are having a good time with my little jessie too.
Love and hugs, xxx

I am NOT a big jessie! ok, i am a little bit! Weather here is a bit like home, but it is off season, so I'm still in shorts & long sleeve t-shirt. We've been to some great places & seen & done really cool things. Forgot to bring a camera, so it's all in my mind! Be home soon, but I'd rather stay here! I'll just have to get more money & come back for longer - much longer! Hope all is good at home & see you guys soon! (Merv)

I have taken some photos so you can see what we have been up to. I will post them after we have finished! I think you will have a laugh at the photos, we have had to wear some stupid outfits to do some of the experiences!!! WE FLEW A HELICOPTER YESTERDAY!!!!! we are having lots of fun, spending too much!!! we are going to the east cape on monday. For now we are in Taupo which is pretty cool! bye for now.

Hi Kids
Sounds like you are both having fun. Can't believe my baby is moaning about anything, least of all jetlag! Never mind, sweetie, you'll just have to get over it - until you come home!
Hoping to see some pics of you both on this site soon - but nothing too scary (like Merv in the morning).
Love and hugs. xxx
