Hmmm? like the "tree penguins" i think the wine tasting women was winding you up? as 'gulping it down' is not he best or accepted way to taste wine? unless that was a typo on your part?

OH MY GOD!!!! Nik that looks fantastic, crazy but fantastic. Can see why you were on such a high when you called. I wanna go!! Will put it on my list of things to do before I die, will have to do it last though cos dont think I would survive it to do anything else.

Miss you loads. Love you

Mumxxxx

Oh, I'm glad we didn't know about this before hand! I don't know what looked scarier ... crawling through the black caves or sky-diving. The pictures are terrific, and show me yet again that I never want to jump out of a plane! But I do want to go to New Zealand, as the scenery looks beautiful. Take care, I can't imagine what other adventures top these, but I bet you'll find them!

Lots of love, Pauline & Graham xx

Hello, great blogs and pictures as always. Pauline&Graham are in Colorado at the moment, and have met up with Andrew (Nikkis cousin) who has been training to be, and now is, a qualified ski instructor. Andy has just seen the photos of zorbing, which he knew of, but we didn't (who thought of such a thing! well done trying it) - and he has also driven through Surfers Paradise and decided not to stay! Terrific idea to learn to surf, will be looking forward to finding out how you get on. On the football front - Graham is a Tottenham supporter, and Andrew Chelsea ... so what fun that Spurs won!! Hope you keep on having such great adventures, lots of love, Pauline, Graham and Andrew xxx
