Hello all!!
Been a while since we last put an update on here, we've been a bit hectic lately!
We're in Wellington at the mo, spending a few days here before going to the south island. Been in New Zealand now for just over 2 weeks and in that time we've managed to see some amazing stuff and do some crazy things!!
This country is absolutely stunning and the Kiwis and Moaris are the most friendly people ever, if you get the chance to come i definately recommend it! The place is gorgeous and so untouched, it's bigger than the UK with only 4.1million people in it!!
Done loads of stuff whilst been here, jumped out of a plane from 12,000 feet - very scary and we both s*** ourselves!! I've also put some pictures of me Black water rafting which was very cold and scary but well worth it! Helen did the sensilble thing and did the dry walk.
Anyway, our times running out so gotta go - love to all
be in touch shortly
Love
Aaron and Helen

Hello all!!
Well we're now in New Zealand now spending about 3 days in Auckland before we start our 2 month KiwiExperience tour of the 2 islands - both looking forward to the trip, from the air New Zealand looks absolutely stunning and completely different from the dry sandy land of Oz.
Have had a great couple of weeks, did a road trip down to the south west of Oz for a few days to a place called Margaret River. It's absolutely stunning down there and highly recomended if anyone gets the chance to go. Sampled a load of wines as it's the wine growing capital of Western Australia, needless to say we felt a little drunk after!!
Hope everyone's ok back home, I promise i'll get some piccies on here soon, just haven't had the time!!
Love to all, missing ya!

Ron & Miss B!
Thanks for your email H cheered me up no end on a Monday morning although did remind me how much I miss you both! You need to post some pictures on here with your tanned bods in them! Need to see how you're currently looking! Are you faring ok without hair products H or did you sneak them into Ron's rucksack when he wasn't looking?!
Ron are looking like a lobster again?! Sounds like you're both having a fabulous time - I look forward to the next journal update.
Take care

Hi mum!
Are you online now??
We're both doing well, currently in Perth in Western Australia seeing an old school friend of helens that moved out here 16 years ago. It's really hot and we've been out today looking at kangeroos and koalas, they're so cute! saw our first red back spider too but we left it alone! off into the city tomorrow and we're renting a car for a trip down the coast for a few days - really looking forward to that! Ozzie life is so different to the UK, so laid back and friendly - we could get used to it!!
hope you're ok, we're not getting text messages - some of them are getting lost in the system i think but we'll try to call again soon.
hope you're ok, how was Rugby? i spoke to chris the other night did he tell you we rang?
love ya lots and miss ya.
love to all
take care

Hello Mr R Rat!
Sorry to hear that the weather there is rubbish, we're missing you loads!
Hope you're still keeping the beefing up! I am no longer a beef, more of a barbequed pork chop!
Love to the rest of the rat clan
Haven't quite managed to get the union jack pants out yet, i'm saving them for Australia!
Take care mate

Hello all and Bula from Fiji!
We're back to civilisation today after a week island hopping! I'm pleased to report that the weather has improved dramatically and it's been upwards of 30 degs every day! neadless to say that both of us are well baked on both sides!
the Fijian islands are stunning, white sandy beaches, turquoise seas, palm trees and blue skies! right out of the travel brocures!
The accomodation is very basic, no hot water or electricity and we've been living in beach front wooden huts known as Bure's. The people are so friendly and we've eaten loads! I'll get some pictures on the site when we get to Oz. We're flying into Sydney tomorrow and then going over to Perth on the West coast for 10 days, we cant wait for our next chapter in our adventure!
We're both feeling very relaxed and have settled in quite nicely to the Fijian pace!
Vinaka!
Take care all, and i'll update you with some more stuff soon.
Love A&H
Ps my email address is actually [email protected], i think i got it wrong on the original email!

Hope everyone's ok back in Blighty
Love to all

Hello all!
Arrived safely in Fiji after a mammoth 29 hour journey, very tiring!
Well Fiji isn't quite the paradise as we imagined, it was pouring down when we arrived and hasnt really stopped since! Apparantly it will cheer up after the weekend, let's hope!
Hope everyones well back home.
Kirsty - that's absolutely great news just wish we were there to see it, he'll be running around with a football sooner than you think!! Give him a big sloppy kiss from us!
Mum - how on the ball are you?! Very impressed!! Miss you
Missing you all loads, we'll get some more stuff on here soon but finding it hard to find the technology to do it!
