Hi all,
Glad to hear you are all safe and having a good time.
We only worried for a bit as we knew you were seasond travellers and would stay out of trouble!
Hope Mel enjoys her stay with you and relaxes as much as she can.
Quick note to you Gem, Zak did not get his post card, could you do something for him? Either another post card or an e-mail that we could print off for him then he won't feel left out.
Lots of love
Dad
Mummy
Safe and warm in Thailand and only a few days til you see Mel....wish I was coming with her!
Stay well the pair of you, thinking of you all the time, love you xxx

Hi Gem,
Just had to tell you, eighteen dives in six days! Had such a good time, saw a reef shark, not too close but good enough to see the sucker type fish hanging underneath it. turtles and barraccuda and puffer fish and loads of fish I have no idea of the names. Seven wrecks as well, from hundred year old ones to fifteen year old ferry.
Can't match the fun your having though, keep the news coming and try not to get too drunk when Mel comes out to visit. Only a few days now.
Love to your Mel, see you soon.
DAD

You have so many memories already and you still have two more countries to go! Just had a phone call from Brenda to say you are visiting Geoff's cousin today. Send our best wishes and enjoy your time in New Zealand .The camper sounds just up our street. So pleased you did the rafting.
