Hiya Toni, its your birthday - 19 today. Hope your having a fab celebration on top of that volcano (Pooh!).

hiya, thanks for the poem and messages! we have been doing a tour for the past couple of days. its been great! we started off in queenstown where it snowed and everything looked really pretty. we then went on a cruise at milford sound which was great and we saw dolphins! we went from Te Anau to Invercargill where we did loads of great walks and saw seals! Today we travelled from Invercargill down to Dunedin, we did some more walks and saw some sea lions which was really cool, apart from one got a bit angry with us and looked like it was gonna charge at us! Its really beautiful down here and the snow on the mountains looked amazing. we are going to Christchurch tommorow and meeting back up with Gemma (she didnt do the tour as she watned to work a but more), then we are flying to Rotorua where we will b for my birthday! then we fly to Aussie on the 3rd of may. i would write a poem about what we have done but it wouldnt b very good! thanks for leaving me messages! lots of love Toni x x x

Dig the paragraphs!

I know its not your birthday today but on the 29th I'll be away,
if you were here I'd buy a cake but this e-mail you'll have to take.
Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Mum and Ro say it too.



I've been looking for a pressie far and wide it wore me out - I nearly died!
You were born in 1986 thats the year that really ticks
To keep your bank account in credit I decided to pay some money innit
Don't get excited, it's not that much but I know you have the midas touch.



I've put the magnet on my refridgerator, I'll see it when I get my wine out later
So here's to you you're 19 now and on that note I'll take a bow.

This was meant to be a bit of a poem but the verses have all lumped together!!

Toni and Philly have gone round the world,
They're having a lovely time.
We're all so jealous cos we can't go,
And it's tricky to make this rhyme!

They were very excited to land in Hong Kong,
And quickly hit the town.
The bird market had a bit of a pong,
Find the sushi, get on down!

Next up, Auckland, Mission Bay,
Staying in a hostel at KeriKeri.
They had to find a job to earn some pay,
Else they'd be hard up, very very!

Found a good job budding citrus trees,
The greenhouse it was boiling hot.
Poor girls had aching feet and knees,
But giving up they were not.

Got paid and set off with their dune boards,
Sand so high it was scary at the top.
They surfed so well they could get awards,
Had a great laugh, it wasn't a flop!

They processed squash & picked apples in between,
And so off to Napier they decided to go.
There they went out & some sights were seen,
A bunch of new mates, they got on just so.

Along with Gareth it was on to Hastings,
But the van broke down along the way.
Stuck in Wapakuru it was time that was wasting,
Toni and Philly had a long boring day.

Hooray they arrived in Wellington at last,
After seeing the Lords of the Ring museum.
So glad the wait for the van was past,
All those Hobbits, you should see'em.

Caught the Bleinheim ferry & crossed the sea,
Going to pick grapes and put them in pots.
It's a cold early start, can't stop for a wee,
Never mind though, cos they're gonna earn lots!
