Hi Dave & Mimi, we have been watching your travel exploits (pictures) and reading your blogs with great antisipation i did try and e-mail you back in november but i believe you never recieved it, anyway your in Fiji now so its about time you logged on again and got on with the adventure of a life time, looking forward to your photo's of the tiger sharks.(mimi on facebook) all the best love to both of you John & Josie

Hi Dave and Mimi, I sent an email, but that was obviously the wrong thing to do as Caroline said you hadn't received it. Anyhow, it was just to say try to visit Lake Tekapo, the water is such a beautiful colour. Nothing much there, except a few eating places and mountains - fabulous! Hope it didn't rain at Milford Sounds, it did for us, but had a beauty of its own. Also we went to Rippon Vineyard on the edge of Lake Wanaka - what a fantastic place to have a vineyard, once again surrounded by mountains. I wish I were there now! Enjoy. xx

Hi guys, sorry about the weather - NZ is known as the land of the long white cloud...!! Glad to hear your enjoying it, look out for dolphins on your milford sound trip and take a waterproof so you can venture into the waterfall! Enjoy xx

Hi to you both. I have managed to check out your recent pictures of your trip Bangkok. If i had an been a tiger i would have eaten you both. That must of been a great experience!!!!

Well done for passing your diving course Dave, you might struggle to teach Mimi to scuba dive lol!!!

Enjoy your time relaxing on the beach, take care and will catch up soon.

And a small poem for the way:) -

Coming Through the Rye
by Robert Burns
(1759-1796)

Coming thro' the rye, poor body,
Coming thro' the rye,
She draiglet a' her petticoatie
Coming thro' the rye.

O, Jenny's a' wat, poor body;
Jenny's seldom dry;
She draiglet a' her petticoatie
Coming thro' the rye.

Gin a body meet a body
Coming thro' the rye,
Gin a body kiss a body -
Need a body cry?

Gin a body meet a body
Coming thro' the glen,
Gin a body kiss a body -
Need the warld ken?

Bon Voyage! Have a fabulous trip. Stay safe. Be happy. Look after each other. Just think - no more heavy jumpers or coats for the next year! Enjoy!.
love Caroline & Stewart
