hi liz & tom,

Hey- you guys must go zorbing it's ace. It's nice to hear from you,new zealand sounds really interesting and you've done so much already! I have booked my flights to california to go on the 17th of April for just over 3 weeks and i'm so pleased i'm going somewhere. The sun has been shining the last few days and it's lifted my spirits a bit!

Liz: i want to see more photos with you in! there has got to be some amazing views there. I really like the photographs of you with the local people.

I hope you're both having the best time. Love nin xxx

hey guys

loving the pics - and congrates on passing the open water.

in new zealand go to bbh hostels, get one of their cards as it is worth while in the long run and they are nicer than the yha hostels, they also give you an accurate book on rating their hostels. you must go sand boarding in the Bay of Island and go sky diving in Taupo as it is much cheaper than Queenstown. have fun in wellington.

Heyo,

Thanks for the B'day present Liz. Its a great album, and one that I wanted to get at some point!

Whilst in New Zealand, I suggest you look out for Flight Of The Conchords, that is, assuming that they are not actually based in America, like most other New Zealand Folk/Parody bands.

Have Fun in NZ!

Dear Tom and Liz

By the looks of the photos it looks as if you are having a wonderful time. Have you been avoiding the over 50s or are there none there? Moya wants to know how the food is on these small islands, it is lots of fish!

Cyclone Gene looks as though it got your attention, are these fairly common or not. By the way Liz, B&Q might be interested in marketing the knicker drying device! I'll see you get your share of the royalties.

Tom, Moya wants you to know that Spurs are playing really well under their new manager, and have left Reading behind in the league.

Anyway, speak to you after the weekend.

Dad and Moya x x x

Hey chaps,

Finally got to your blog, ive just worked out what all the junk email I've been getting from Sta travel was, but I wonder no more after seeing your posts and some of your photos! You'll be pleased to hear I will be wasting the rest of my morning looking through your snaps so far, and will now have something to check each day! (no Facebook at work...booo!)

Anyhoo, hope NZ is awesome, mine and hannas adventure planning is well underway, we can't wait to get there!

Hear from you soon

Matt

Hey tom and liz

Hi Tom and Liz

It was great to talk to you yesterday. Glad to hear that you have had such a great time in Fiji.

Tom, I opened your post today and you have been made an unconditional offer of a MSC Quarternary Science at Royal Holloway! I will try to phone you later and send a text. Can you ring home to let me know what you want to do about the offer from Kings as they need to know early next week. How exciting! Now you will have to decide!!

Speak to you soon

love Mum

Hi guys! sounds awesome! i just had to email to tell tom that i have just spent all of 20 minutes with a mr. steve coppell! it rung a bell so i looked him up and it turns out he's the reading manager. i'm sure that's totally un exciting to hear but it's pretty quiet here!

Me and Levi have been thinking about what to do, as i have quite a bit of time ahead of me now! We're booking a trip to california for a month in april/may as it's pretty cheap at the mo. we can travel around a greyhounds for pennies. Hopefully when i get back i'll feel refreshed and i will apply for a teaching assistant job in Bath to get that bit more experience. It's not quite travelling but it's good enough for the time being!

when are you off to new zealand? is it today? I totally have no idea what time/day it is there! Really miss you but i'm so glad you're having a great time

take care you too

love neen x

Hi you two

30 metres eh! Sure beats 20 metres off Swanage in February, i think that was the last dive I ever did. Didn't see a shark either, actually didn't see anything the visability was so bad! Its sunday 3rd today, and the weather here is sunny, but NOT 30 degrees. Tom, watched Reading lose 2-0 to Bolton yesterday, we were awful, I don't think we had a shot on target for the whole 90 minutes, 4th from bottom now, and likely to drop lower if yesterdays display is mirrored again. Moya's arm is healing nicely, into a strict regime of physio now, just up her street. It seems from your letter writing etc, you are both having a lovely time, you will have some great stories to tell us when you return.

By the way Tom, your car took 2 litres of oil to fill it up. As it only takes 1 litre to go from the bottom of the dip stick to the top, it was one litre from the sump as well. I'm sure it will be ok though.

Anyway I'll stop now.

Both of you stay safe.

Dad and Moya x x
