Hi Lorna & Surfer Dude!

Happy New Year, great blog and pictures. Glad you had a lovely Christmas and New Year's Eve down under and enjoyed Sydney & 'Surf Camp'.

Stick with your board Lorna, surfs up, and as for you Alex, those 'Bondi Boys' best move aside as next time the 'Swells Pumping' and its 'Going Off' in Bondi, I'm sure that you'll be pulling 'gnarly cut backs' and 'Aerials' in no time. Enjoy!

Love, Stuart & Christine

Happy new year to you both. Lets go mad in sydneyxx

Happy new year! Glad you enjoyed the fireworks in Sydney! Have fun up the coast, if you go to Byron then go to Cheeky Monkeys, its even cheesier than the Pris!!!! x

Happy New Year guys!! Looks like you're having an amazing time in Oz and your new year spot... good work!! It is so cold here and is even snowing in the smog of London - not nice!!

Hope the rest of surf camp goes well, I'm sure you will get the hang of it in the end Lorna!! x

Hi Lorna and Alex

Well done for the excellent blog and picures - much better that our effort! We are impressed with the thorough way you are visiting every site and having every possible holiday experience - you must have fantastic stamina!

Carry on the good holidaying!

Love

Peter & Rosemary

Happy New Year to the both of you. Hope you had lots of drinks and celebrated the new year in style. xx

Hey Alex and Lorna,

Is there no internet access in Sydney? Where are you Xmas photos and update blog?

Wishing you both a Happy New Year and hope you have a blast in Sydney and love the massive firework displays.

Love Jess and all the family xx

Great to get your postcard and to know that the NZ leg of your trip went well. Hope Australia holds lots of good experiences for you too. Have a great Christmas.

PS: what's with keeping the engagement quiet while you were with us?!!! Did us out of a celebratory drink!! Anyway, really pleased for you both, and we wish you all the very best.

Hi Lorna & Alex,

Horah! computer fixed at last sorry for delay. So firstly heartfelt congratulations to you both on your Fijian engagement.

Secondly, just to say how much we have enjoyed hearing about your incredible experiences across the globe and so glad your having an amazing time.

Finally, we wish you a Merry Australian Christmas (that should'nt be very difficult with your experience) and a wonderful New Year.

Much Love, Stuart & Christine

See from your photos that you went to both Sounds - what did you think? As you know we loved both! New Zealand is fantastic isn't it!

Hope you guys have a great time in Oz, try and visit Manly when you're in Sydney for Christmas!!

Hi Alex, Lorna and Co,

Excellent last album, best photos yet. Is that penguin flying or swimming? Great shot though. Doubtful Sound looks fantastic and next time I go to New Zealand I will make sure I visit! I think you visited every inch of New Zealand and sounds like you loved every minute.

Have an excellent time in Sydney I know you will love it!

Love Jess, Adonis & Sophia x
