mummykay Good to speak to you this morning. Amazing you are only a few more days and then the long haul home! Enjoy your walk up the mountain...and your remaining days. We'll be eagerly awaiting arrival back in Blighty on Wed. much love to you both XXX ps shall I bring fleeces, soup, gloves, hats, scarves, hot water bottle, extra strong mints??? he! he!

Grandpa The months have certainly flown by since you left. Countdown now to when you get back. Have some thermals ready for when you are back in dear old Blighty. Look forward to seeing you and hearing all your exciting tales. Enjoy the remaining few days.

mummykay fabulous reading your blog...oh the memories came flooding back! So glad you're enjoying it as much as we did...it truly is a spectacular country. Also like to hear you had too much to drink to cook in the campervan...that's our girl!!! Keeping up with your sisters too!! I cannot believe it either - 12 days to go. Back @ the end of October it seemed you'd been away forever now we've just got one more weekend and we'll be at the airport impatiently waiting to see you....well dad might be fretting about the parking charge..!! you know dad! Hope the bugs didn't bite too much at Milford. Love to you both, take care & happy remaining travels. XXXX Blighty is a bit chilly today although sun has been out a few times. It will of course shine on your return!! he! he!

Ang & Trev So glad you are enjoying South Island. I did the tandem paragliding off the top at Queenstown, quite an experience. So envious of you. We had a Hiace too like you. Take care. Your goddaughter is gorgeous! Shame about the parents.

Ang & Trev Pleased to see you got the priorities right - wineries first and then the wonderful scenery at Abel Tasman. Enjoy the west coast but watch out for the nasty biting things!.
