Hiya, hope you are both ok. Am sending this from school! Didn't leave home until 10.10 am as the roads were cut off due to flooding and the trafic gridlocked, aaagh! Garden Centre under about 2 ft of water and will be closed for days! Its lovely and sunny here today though. Just been looking at pics of Rotarua - they take me back to my time in NZ. Have good day. love mum xxx

Hope your doing lovely things and seeing wonderful sights. Hope the toilet facilities are ok!

Hi both! We have only just managed to get to the library at the Forest as in the last hour the river has come right up again, and I am wondering if we will be able to get home! As we drove past the garden centre they were trying to rescue furniture etc and all their cars are parked out on the road! Heehee! The cinema car park is like a lake as is the hotel! We had a months rain in one night! Just been looking through your fantastic photos. Ooo we are SOooo jealous! You are both really brown already and you look so well! Laz was taking his fork-lift truck test this afternoon. Probably very muddy there too! Wonder if I will be able to get to work 2moz or whether we will be marooned! Will check blog again soon. Lots of love xxxxxxxx
