Diane Hope you had a go on The Luge ride at the top of the mountain? Great fun and a spectacular view of the Remarkables! I'm so going to miss both your blogs! Looking forward to my 2nd Christmas Dinner!! And seeing your lovely faces, Keep safe. Dianexx

diane Hope you're going to Rotorua - it's a must see. Kaikoura whale watch good. Enjoy!

Mum I thought you were joking about the skydive! Take care! Love Mum x

Diane Sounds like paradise - glad you both enjoyed it. Any decision on your Christmas pressie? Do you want the cash now or to wait till you come home? Love Dianexx

Diane It all sounds wonderful! I think people eat sea cucumbers - maybe in Korea. Do you want us to send you cash for Christmas presents or do you want it when you get home? You choose. Love Dianexx

Diane Did you get to cuddle a Koala? Don't fancy the toads at all!

Suzanne Hi Dianne! We arrive on Dec 18th and spend Christmas and New Year in Auckland. There's a parade and free music even on Christmas Day and Ben's dad would have joined us for new year as we're going to Ben's cousin's wedding so that'll be nice! You will have to wait a while for another blog! We're off to Fraser Island for a 3 day trip tomorrow, I can't wait! The road trip is going well though, the van is really cool! And I am home 2 months today!!! I'm used to 40oc heat now, a Monday morning in Manchester will be tough! Speak soon xxxx
