RB says tell the kid 'that the idea of a blog is a summary not a word by word account'

We are all loving your blog - had us all in stiches today about the glove story! Keep it up!

Hurray!!!!!!!!! You did it! I have to admit that at 3.15am I was not in the right frame of mind to give you much encouragement. Having called me in the early hours just before your hang gliding, sky diving and bungee jumping, I think I would prefer it if you called me afterwards in future as it is wrecking my peaceful sleep! Only joking - I was there with you in spirit! Well done - you must be so pleased that you went through with it. All my love as ever Mum XXXXXXX

mum told me about your blog so i had to see for myself what a fab time youre hqving.youll be talking about all your near misses and scarey moments for the rest of your life...and its always good to exaggerate abit too remember! enjoy every day and all your adventures. lots of love sue x

Australia certainly provided wonderful experiences you will never forget. Now New Zealand sounds full of moments to treasure too. envy you the dolphin swim, but not the bungee jumping ! We're tracking you on the map and thinking of you all the time, and look forward to your blogs. Hope the weather has warmed up. Allour love Nanny and Papa.

Hi Em, we were in Christchurch & Kaikoura in December - NZ is very scenic. Everyone in the office is envious, and missing you. Aunty C wants to do a gap year too - maybe Chris and Fran will invite her along - or maybe not! Have fun bungy jumping - 8 out of 10 people survive so the odds are on your side. Love UM and AC

I can't believe all these early starts you are having! Hope the weather improves a bit and that you get to wear wet suits when swimming with the dolphins otherwise I can't imagine you will stay in the water for very long! All my love Mum

We want to read more of your blog - you need to catch up with yourself! Have a great time in NZ. love mum

Hello Alice!

I know, i felt so ill! Flying to NZ tomorrow which i am very excited about...will be bungee jumpong and skydiving in a week!!! miss you lots x x x x send my love to everyone!!

Hi Emma, I think that you will have to be a land-based pirate if you want to wear all those lovely stripes and eye patches.

The coral reef sounds amazing - so envious.

Motion sickness is no fun! So sorry that you so suffered from it. Papa suffers the same way, so he knows how you felt. I hope you are better now and that the next part of your trip will be extra enjoyable. we look forward to your blogs.

All our love to you. N. and P.

You are clearly not cut out for a life at sea! Sorry you felt so ghastly. Hopefully the better bits of the trip made up for it. Lokking forward to our Skype call later.

All my love Mum xxxxxxxxxxx
