Hi both of you. Hope you are having a great time on the Kiwi Experience.
Your site has gone rather quiet - it would be good to have an update to the blogs and some photos.
I am sitting in the garden in the late afternoon sun, having spent some time down the allotment with Alex this afternoon, planting vegetables. They should be ready by the time you get back. It's sunny but cooler here.
Hope you have got the ISIC access number and can call us more easily now. Would be good to talk to you this weekend, which is a bank holiday in England. You might find it easier to access from a land line.
Anna, I remembered that my step brother Peter lives in south island NZ. I don't have his address but Omi might, so let me know if you want to get it touch with him.
Lots of love. Mum xxxxx

Hi to both of you. It was great to talk to you Anna this week and hope you are now both fully recovered from tummy bug. Alex also was so pleased to talk to you - we are all missing you. Your planned trip to the highlands to stay with a family and backpackers ranch sounds fantastic - can't wait to read the next blog.
We are all going sailing this weekend to help Lynn bring her boat back from Milford Haven to Swansea. Weather here is still pretty warm but now a bit overcast and some rain, so hope it will improve for the weekend. Alex is back at school and still claiming he has no homework for the third day running!
Your lack of criminal record certification has arrived by the way - I assume it has gone to i-2-i as well.
Lots of love, Mum xxx

Hello both of you....am sooooo jealous of what you've been up to. I also stayed in that weird bunk bed upon bunk bed hotel on beachcomber island! So cool being able to picture exactly where you've been!
Elbel.....missing you hugely. People at work have noticed the sudden expanding of my wardrobe since your departure! Don't worry..everything will be put back before you return! This is your fee for me having to look after your horrid hamster..hehehe
So have you sampled the yummy Kava yet?Definitely the most refreshing drink I've ever had.
Anyhoo, loving the blogs...keep them up, take care of each other, All my love, madsxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hello lovely ladies... i just scooched through other people's messages (because i'm a stalker) and saw that fiji is 11 hours ahead of us SO here's the plan- on saturday you should look on the internet and find out what the winning lottery numbers are and then tell us and then we can choose those numbers and we will be rich!!
in other news i am currently eating a digestive biscuit and its very tasty. have given up on hall food which may turn out to be both an expensive and fattening decision.
i'm very excited about this lovely website blog thing, and also about your (hermit) crabs. what did you call them??

"and you WILL burn when it's cloudy and rainy!!"
Hahaha, too true. Worse than when it is clear and sunny I might add. All sounds very reminiscent of Tahiti to me, which can only mean good things for you! But like I said, be wary of how tanned you get ladies. More tanned than me=illegal. You have been warned. Keep training those livers! Sxxx

Hi El,
Glad to hear you are meeting so many people and keeping yourselves so busy, leaves you less time to worry about the poor relatives and friends at home getting on with the daily drudge. (We are all trying to cope with our envy)
Adam and I are off to France on Thursday and Adam is busy trying to sort out how much hand luggage he can take on Ryan SAir without being charged anything. He is determined to make the 0.1p ticket stretch as far as possible.
Emma has found a house share in Camden and she is off this weekend so we will have to get used to an even quietre house.
Lettie (hamster) protested by issuing a large screech when i was checking that she was still alive - however after the gift of a piece of apple we are now friends again.
Keep up the blog.
Mummy
Omi

Hi Anna - it was really great to talk to you this morning and again at 7.30 this evening, before you set off for 7 days' of island hopping by boat. You sounded so much more chirpy after a proper night's sleep, even if I did wake you up. Sounds like a good tour you both have organised, so looking forward to hearing about it on your next blog. Much Love Mumxxxx
Anna's Uncle
Hi Anna,
Like everyone else, I'm sitting here feeling ever so slightly jealous of you. It's quite a trip you've got ahead of you, and we're looking forward to hearing all the stories (well, those fit for public consumption). Have a great time.
God bless,
Uncle Gavin

Hi both of you. We've all been thinking about you constantly and wondering how your journey to Fiji is going. You are 11 hours ahead of us there, and I guess by the time you get this message you will be at the hostel and settled in. Looked at Fiji visitor website, it looks a fabulous place, and you might even get the opportunity to sail! The boys have gone off to Rugby and I am going to plant some veg seeds for the allotment with Alex this afternoon. Missing you loads - love Mum xxxxx
