As you can see I wrote the earlier message before I looked at the photos

Hi Tom and Liz

Been a little while since we have been on here. We have both loved looking at the photos, the places you have seen make us very jeolous. New Zealand looks as good as everyone says it is. When will we see some photos of the bungee jump Tom? You'd never catch me doing that, I'm with you Liz, a bit of a wuss.

We are both ok at home, same old, same old. Moya has now returned to work and although her arm is a little sore the movement she has is not bad.

Tom, Reading won last weekend, beat Middlesborough 1-0 away, Harper scores in the 92 minute, too late for them to come back, still third from bottom, but not getting cut off from those above. We have Man City on Saturday.

By the way, loved the Magic bus, Moya and I have been on a few like that in USA.

Take care you two and get in touch soon

Love Dad and Moya

Hi Tom and Liz

You are having such a wonderful time! I love reading your blog liz, it makes me laugh. Tom, Lake Takepo is where Georgeanne's daughter Beth got married a few years ago! Marie and Beth were visiting Georgeanne and Andy when they were living there and Beth fell in love with the Chapel and the Lake and decided to get married there. She then met her future husband and the rest is history!

Everything here is ok. We now have 3 new fish - tetra neons. We got them on Wednesday, so far so good - they have survived 3 days!

Liz, its nice to see more photos of you. You look so happy I can see you are enjoying yourself.

Tom I bet you enjoyed climbing the glacier, the photos are incredible but probably don't do it justice.

Keep on having fun and enjoying yourselves.

Hope your flight to Sydney goes ok and no doubt we will hear from you when you have arrived.

Love Mum xxxx

hey! thank you so much for your email - i will email you back to your mail address. it just doesn't look real there! you see those pictures in travel brochures, and think..'yeah..right.' but seeing you there, it just looks like another planet, like you said. I'm so so happy you're having a good time, i can see by your huge smiles! xxxxxx

LOve the pictures. Glad to see more of you in them and jealous of the tan (not yours tom the ghost!) Miss you miss you miss you miss you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! xxxxxxx

wow! stunning, i love the look of that glacier and the lake. it looks so sunny and peaceful there. did you guys get to see the lunar eclipse? I'm counting the days until we go, but it's like 56 so i'm not getting excited just yet!

i bet you'd be happy staying there, it looks like paradise.

so..i have no news but just wanted to comment on your photos, they're fantastic!

Oh my god... Jeremy Beadle died! shock!

Hellllooooo!

Just read your update, all sounds amazing! got to agree with the mother hen, zorbing is a must do, it would be so fun! Also loving the fact mum had to look it up on the tinternet!

England is a bit sunnier for once, which makes portsmouth unbelievable lovely, mum and dad came down on mon an went to gunwarf which was lovely in the sun, and i have the day off today so im gng to the beach and the arcade to play on the 2p machine haha! things that have been happening over here.... heath ledgers funeral was this week, very sad, not sure when jeremy beadles is?? also on a really trivial note, skins started this week, and it was really wierd so liz your not missing anything.

lots of love kate xxx

PS the sum today is 5+4... its getting harder....

Hi Liz & Tom

This is all sounding so great, I love reading your blog. What I wouldn't do to swap places with you at the moment.

You must do the zorbing I had a look on the internet to see what it is............fantastic (but I wouldn't do it - Dad said he would ! )

Can't wait for more photos

Take care

Love

Mum
