Hi Hannah, You might remember me, I'm your cousin(second cousin? whatever!) from Dumfries.I've only just found out about your blog from Betty and Bryce and I'm just saying hello before I look around your site. Best wishes to you and Brian, Niall.

My stomach even lurches every time I watch the repeat performance on video Brian. I understand you had to keep up with Hannah but.. When I was wee my mun used to say, Would you put your hand in the fire if Stuart did?..

Obviously really admire your courage (or lunacy) and feel restored by the change of mood to the Glacier then beautiful view of Mount Cook reflected so perfectly in the lake. Loving the blog and trip. New Zealand just looks like my idea of heaven, and all washed down with some locally produced Sauvignon Blanc!

Now looking at an April trip, fingers crossed!

I know that all of the photos look like New Zealand, and you've cunningly posted blogs for each place you've supposedly visited, but I haven't seen any pictures of Hannah in a light blue fleece so I just don't believe you.

Well played on the bungy Brian - I've heard some blokes get up there and chicken out (can't imagine who)...

Cheers,

Ian

Well, on a rainy evening in a dodgy hotel in Aberdeen, what more could I wish for than to read about my friends' amazing travels! Ta for adding to the January blues (again!). Looks like you're having a ball.

Thanks for the crazy rodeo videos. Still photos without sound would not have done the rodeo justice. Just relieved you didn't decide to give it a go Hannah!

Almost getting used to the magnificent views. What a country! Looks like you are also enjoying good weather.

Desperate to get down to the travel agents but not had the chance since you decided to stay in N Zealand.

Yo yo yo Luvvies!!!! Hope '08 began with a bang for you - I was doing the usual, entertaining the tuxedo Terences at a private function. I'll now be incorporating the pipes into my future
