Heh guys! Glad alls tripping along nicely. Were you planning on going to Fiji?(Phil tells us nuffin). The FCO are telling people not to go as there is an expected coup in the next two weeks. The Australians think it could turn nasty. Take care and keep smiling.
Phil
Hey guys, good to hear from you. I'll do another bungy for you if you want to pay for it, this stuff ain't cheap.
We've been eating some pretty strange stuff: we had, for instance, egg and tomato broiled together on top of rice the other day (see new photos). We've also had a few lunchtime specials around here. It's cheap living.
John, we went to a winery in Malborough. We had a few sips of reasonable wine. We know nothing of their true quality.

Oops, '(andie)'is actually me and not some 3rd person we've invited into the realtionship! Not that much has changed since you've been away! ;)

Hey guys, sorry to be gay and do a joint message like some middle aged couple but hey!
Glad you're all surviving! We've been reading your emails. Hope you're not getting too bored in NZ, but then I guess it can only get better. I think more information on weird things you're eating is necessary, and if you're not eating weird things, then you must start!
And while you're there, do a bungy for me (andie) o i can tell the kids in my class that i've done one and look cool!
Enjoy! x

Send emails *and* post here Phil!? That's a lot of effort for just one man. When I travel, I think i'll keep it hush hush, then people won't feel guilty for not writing.
I did attempt to take over this baord a while back, but seemed futile as, as you say no one posts. Maybe you're just not in peoples' minds enough - a bit like a school kid not getting given a nickname; I never did...
Off to London again tomorrow, so bed time. I'm always tired these days, as if I have a leach constantly sucking my meagre energy from me. Have fun times.
Phil
people oughta post messages here more.

Hey Nick (and everyone else),
not had chance to use the phone yet, my old phone seems to be working fine so I'm gonna stick with it until it gives up the ghost. Glad to hear everyone's ok back home, I'm in Wellington at the moment, the weather is pretty atrocious, even worse than Scotland. It won't stop raining today so I'm taking shelter in an internet cafe. Had a very entertaining last few days, I was actually in Hunterville yesterday (Sat). We arrived in the afternoon, hunterville were celebrating a 'shepards shemozzle!!!' and Duncan n Robyn were partying in the town centre. Unfortunately I missed the early stages of the shemozzle, which involved kids racing sheep and sheep dogs over hills and through the village which would have been interesting to watch. We did however, manage to get arrive just in time for some free bbq food and beer, we stocked up on steak sandwiches and sausage butties, much better than the jacket potato and beans we're often on whilst on the road..... I'm just gonna write the rest of this in the journal section coz I've a fair bit to say x

Hello Ben and fellow globe trotters!
Sorry I havent left any messages so far. Ive finally got round to checking it out. Thanks for your email a while back. Sounds like ure having an immense time. Im ever so jealous of u. Ive started back in hospitals. In clatterbridge on the wirral for 6 weeks at the mo working on a stroke rehab unit. Very interesting but id rather be on a round the world adventure. Hope the mighty mobile is holding out for u. Ru going or have u been to hunterville to check in with our relatives yet?
Everyone is doing fine back here. Im going home next weekend (at the same time as Debsoir) for a little Green gathering. Grandparents are well eager to see us. ive not been home since I came to uni. However, grandpa Green has been writing some hilarious letters and Grannie Lovelady has been spot on with the email and texting.
Neway i better go, there is some serious haribo consuming to be done!!! Do take care on ure travels.
Love Nik x x

Bread!? Bread!? Garlic bread! That is thick indeed. My fog would have been closer to the answer and she can only say 'woof' (or 'grr', either is closer than bread)
I've just been taken down by a jacket potato, hard and fast! IT was nearly as big as me!
Hey, Pete shall we just take over this travel board and claim it as our own space, with daily quips and tales of grandeur!?
Got my haircut today, was another disappointment :( - stares out of window into a dark and lonesome night; glimpsing his semi reflection in the glass, and thinking 'why?'

To follow on from craig's update on how thick britain is, on the weakest link today, the question was - what would be the spanish name for a young girl, the equivalent of the english word 'Miss'. what did she reply??!
