mo Hi toots, I'm still waiting for my weekly phonecall!! its only 5 days late.  Glad you had a good time with Michelle and that the weather was better.  The sun has been brilliant here, very warm for the time of year.  Have you got employment yet in Oz?  Lots to tell when you do ring.  Oh, you did remember Rob's birthday didn't you?!!! Love you.

Katherine Hi Julia ! I have only just managed to get logged into the site !! hee hee Maybe just aswell as all those wonderful photo`s are making me very jealous !! Glad you are having a fun time, looks like an amazing place. Will mail again soon, keep up the good work enjoying yourself! You must be an expert at that now ! hee hee  Katherine xx

Catherine Kia ora Julia!!! it just aint the same without u! but as u can see from liz' posting, the classic stupid comments continue in the vain of 'its the smallest world in the world!' The views from milford were just AWESOME!! and Queenstown was sweet as...!! we did encounter Radler-induced drunkeness of course - claire started us all ceilidh dancing (scottish folk dancing) with some scottish guys in kilts with swords (which we later stole)!! unfortunately they decided to show us what was under their kilts ... which was not very much!! arghhhh!!!

Claire Ki Ora Julia, I know it means welcome but they seem to use it all the time so thought i'd go along with that! Enjoy your BBQ, they're always best in the rain anyway. As you may have guessed me, liz and catherine are all sitting side by side on the computers (sad i know) so yeah we're all full of chocolate too, mmmmmm. I like the photos! i like liz took over 170 in milford yesterday not sure i can make my family look through them all but we'll see... Enjoy the rest of NZ and looking forward to hearing about oz! Cx

Liz Julia Julia, then there was three! We're still all losers staying together!! Just arrived in Dunedin, hmmmm not really a WOW factor going on is there! Certainly not going to be written down as a big wow in my book! Although Claire is enjoying the Scottish connections! We did the cadbury tour aswell and bought loads of chocolate and in actual fact Claire and i bought more than Catherine which is very unusual!! I hope we have a BBQ too, right behind you girlie. Catherine has just asked me how to spell 'Fiord' and then she replied 'oh i had a 'j' in there!!' Oh Catherine, scatty catty!! Oh and 170 photos were taken just at Milford by me yesterday!! Hmmm my camera is worn out, i know you'll be laughing!  Take it easy and speak soon. love Liz x x

Jan Did you understand my first message? It was in invisible ink! Sorry bit of a novice at this. Just looked at your photos and its bought back loads of memories. Isn't it the mosy picturesque place ever? You can't help but take pictures of everything! I like your new boyfriend but you do look a bit scared of him, thought of getting a nice chin tattoo while your there? If you happen to come across a lovely twisty bone carving that would make a nice necklace I would really love it. I'd gladly pay for it, I had one when I first came back , but it disappeared so would really appreciate it. Hope you enjoy the rest of the trip, are you going whale watching in Kaikoura? Look forward to seeing those photos. Have fun, you've really done some great things . Your Mum says "nice photos, shame about the speeling"!
