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.

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!

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.

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!.

HNY. Photos of Oz look stunning and the write up was good reading. Very jealous! Have fun in NZ. All is well here.

You should have carried onward and done the West. Are you saving that for another holiday.

Make sure you go to Abel Tasman Nat Park, the beaches are stunning. Hope you see whales at Kaikoura. Keep away from the pie shops - I'm still counting the cost (or calories) from our visits to them!! Have a brilliant time. Hope the ferry crossing was calm. Ang & Trev.

Watch your speed in the campervan! The police are very hot in NZ. John got stopped and fortunately was only a couple of mph over the limit and just got a warning. Very envious of you. Have a great time. Ang & Trev.
