Beth's mum Hi there Jen's Dad Thank you so much for the update! Sounds like the girls are having a wonderful time! I got a text yesterday just telling me about the sky dive!

Jen's dad Hello fan club of the 3 amegos. Jennifer called last night with an update of all the news. Because they are in a "Recreational Vehicle" they are literarly on the go the whole time and haven't been able to keep in touch as much as they (and to be honest we) would like, but when Jennifer told me of all the things they have been up to in NZ she is excused. So far they have been ; white water rafting; Pot holing to see glowworms in their natural environment, swimmimg with dolphins and as you have probably guessed from Beths mums report they have all done a tandem sky dive from 12000 feet. Jennifer said she would love to do it again so the girls week-end before the wedding next year(Jennifers brothers wedding at which Jen is bridesmaid) will be a sky dive. Marie the "bride to be" now is your chance if you are brave enough. Jennifer said that they are pretty busy over the next few days viz, Glacier walk today. snowboarding the following 2 days , that they do not know when they will have the opportunity to update their album corner. But I am sure it will be worth waiting for when they do. That is why I have taken it apon my self to post this update for the fan club (and no doubt get into trouble for). PS Jennifer to remind you to look and see which way the water votrex goes down the plug in the southern hemisphere. Lots of Love Dad

Beth's mum Hi Beth I'm really glad I didn't know about your sky dive in advance!!Now that we know you have such a head for heights we shall leave the gutters for you to paint on your return! How's the camper van working out? Keep in touch Love Mum xx
