Auntie Mary Hi Claireand Andy, not long to go now. We are all looking forward so much to seeing you both when you have recovered from your travels and hearing all of your stories. No doubt that will take some time. Hopefully we can have another family get together when you feel up to it, which woulld be great. Don't know if you have heard that Emmyloo has passed her driving test and now has a car. Reg no ---ELK! Lots of love to see you both XX

Lisa & Ali Hi guys I am here with Ali so we thought we would send you a message. We have just been looking at your photos and it still looks as if you are both having a great time. You haven't missed much news, one thing you haven't heard is that Ali passed her driving test on the 24th January 2007 in the snow. She was a very brave girl and wasn't sure on the morning of her test if it was going to go ahead, added nerves and every thing for her, arghhh!!!! We were just saying that we are missing our Sunday night curries and hope you both hurry back soon as we are dying to have one. Miss you loads, Marc and Russ say hi too. Love Li and Ali x x PS - Thanks for the text messages

dawson Lovin the pics! I bet you’re planning the next expedition already. It’s a tad addictive isn’t it! New Zealand looks amazing. Not long now until you’re homeward bound. I’m sure the English weather will improve by the time you get back. It’s…er, cold, wet and grey at the moment :( God bless England in February! Dawson

big cuz LOVE the pictures, WOW! Particularly the mountains. Oh and the Glaciers. Oh and the beaches, especially the 23/02 one. You're having one hell of an adventure which I'm sure you'll remember for a long time! Hope you're not too home sick, we'll see you soon. Love big cuz and his mob.

Sarah and Rita Hi Guys, Just checking out your journal and getting very excited about the fact that you are coming home soon!!!!!!! Can't wait!!!!!! Anyway enjoy the rest of your trip.

Mum Hi Claire and Andy I have been looking at your latest photos. I did not realise that New Zealand was such a beautiful country. I have enjoyed them so much,including the pics of you both, you really have 'captured the moment'. Tomorrow we will be celebrating Uncle Neils birthday at Chichester. We wish you could be with us, but we will all be thinking of you! Hope the camper van is holding out ! Love to you both Mum xxxxxxxxxxxx
