After nearly seven months away, I have now made it home, slightly sooner than originally planned, but glad to be home and looking forward to catching up with everyone. My final couple of weeks in New Zealand were spent visiting a few places I'd missed on my first circuit of the South Island; a trip to Mount Cook, a village at the foot of t…

mum Nany and Grandad would be so pleased - even if you didn't find his slippers up the wanganui. Keep writing the blogs - they keep us amused. Can't wait to hear about the fruit picking

Katie Another great blog - thanks Em! I've got a couple of days off work this week and enjoyed reading your latest adventures. Steve & I travelled from Cairns to Brisbane when he came over to visit me on my year in Oz. It was a good trip but, like you, we definitely came across a few places we wouldn't bother to recommend to others. I'm glad you liked Brisbane as it's a place still very special to me. Every now and again on cold, damp or drizzly days here I wonder about going back ... Where to next? You're not going to be in Melbourne on Sunday for the Open Final are you? That would be great. Hope you continue to enjoy it. K x

Jackie Ah, you're making me feel nostalgic, loved Noosa & the YHA & Airlie Beach's lagoon was great (although did hear some rather dodgy stories I should obviously have let you in on that means I would not be swimming there again in a hurry! ...) At least with no straighteners you are the real deal & not 'backpacking' with a trolley case!! Cant wait to hear & see more. Have fun!

Jan 26, 2010 re: Brisbane, Queensland

Mark Tolley I remember the YHA at Noosa, what a fantastic place. Ah I miss it there!! Sounds like you're having a great time, keep up with the blogs!

Jen Williams Great to read what you got up to after I left! Sounds fab. Missing you immensely!xx

Nancy Strickland Em, sounds like it has been a great experience, I have really enjoyed reading your blog - enough for a book one day?!! Hope you are well

Katie As if the thought of you singing wasn't bad enough we now have to imagine you shuffling your bum African mama style. What a picture!! It sounds like you've had an amazing time and the school definitely appreciated having you with them. I'm in Leighton this weekend. Mum's just received your letter and says thanks. We've just been into town for the grand Christmas lights turn on and fireworks extravaganza. The lights turn on wasn't that grand - it seemed to take three countdowns and three attempts before they got them all on! The fireworks were impressive though. Enjoy Zanzibar. It's fantastic! Looking forward to the next tales soon. Take care. Katie x

laura Hey how are you? Just been reading your blog its sounds as if you're having a great time! All is good here just counting the weeks to the end of term & Christmas. Dave's not been running much due to lots of rain but he still managed to come in first out of WBS in the 10k wiht no injuries! Still not sold the house but fingers crossed for the new year. It's weird at school without you! Speak soon and take care of yourself Laura x
