Alright people, just a quick update this time, you'll be pleased to know if you feel pbliged to read this. we're in jolly old New Zealand now, and have been for a few days now. My family were here to greet us on arrival which was nice and we spent a few days in relative luxury, reaping the benefits of hotel life nad a few meals out, brilliant. we had two activity packed days with the family in and around Christchurch, inlcuding a visit to the Antartic centre. Did you know Christchurch is the gateway to the Antarctic? No? well it is, brilliant! we also saw some of the beautiful natural scenery that New Zealand is famed for and it didn't disappoint. Now the family have left we've hired ourselves a 'Spaceship'. Essentially it's a people carier converted to have a ed and cooking facilities. we'll be calling this car our home for the next 12 days. Unfortunately, we think someone has already twated into our car while we were away from it. As we decided against paying an additional cost to reduce our excess, this could be a bit gay, if you know what i mean, which i'm sure you don't. Anyway, i'll probably do a more detailed update next time, as long as the keyboard is better than this one, hope everyone's well, rob
