Brendon, Rebecca and Caleb Hi Jodie and Andrew, It sounds like your trip is going very well. Caleb loved the pictures of Disney Land and of the cars. "Dad can we go there one day" he said!! Things are really good over here. Caleb is looking forward to getting back to school. He has already got lots of certificates and a trophy for doing all his work. Rebecca has a new horse which is pretty exciting. It is very young and she will start breaking it in like her other one she broke in over winter. I've just been working and the weather has been a bit s***ty lately. Hope you have a safe flight home. Caleb is coming up to Queenstown to see you off the plane. See you on Sunday Love Brendon, Rebecca and Caleb.

Nicky Hi Guys, sounds like you have had a great look around Italy, hope the beerfest went well and you remembered that the alcohol percentage is much higher and didn't believe that as it has less preservatives you don't get a hangover!!!! I had my adventure race last weekend which was awesome but took just under 9 hours!!! My poor body is still recovering. They are talking about having it in queenstown next year so Jodie I might have to rope you in. Take care and can't wait to see the rest of your pics and here more about your adventures!! Luv Nicky
