Hiya Laura,

Sounds like you are having the time of your life. Sarah is a brave girl doing the jump, rather her than me.

Just checked out the latest pic's they're lovely. Some of the places you've been look amazing.

Nothing much going on here, Kids are growing up fast, leah is potty trained and doing well. She can hold a conversation, we have problems shutting her up (haha). Rhys is still gaining weight well and changes by the day.

Oh well nothing is as exciting as what you are up to, so i'll not bore you to much.

Take care, love Nat & mark xx

Big kisses from Leah & Rhys xx

Hiya

Go girl... well done for doing the bungee jump. I didn't do the one up the gondola as it scared me being over rocks. This giel also bruised her arm after getting it caught round the rope as that one is tied round the wait. I did the A.J. Hackett in Arrowtown off a bridge over water which they then had to pull myself into a boat. Its an amazing feeling once you have done it though.

Did you have a go on the looges once you were up the gondola, they are so much fun.

Anyway, I am back on English time now, back to the boring, tiring work, dance, gym and housework mode so it all seems so long ago I was there now but think we are going back again in 2010.

What a journey your both having though, its amazing... keep putting the piccies on to remind me of being there. See you soonly x x

hi Laura,

Just caught up with you again. You didn't fancy the bungee then after all - a big well done to Sarah - she's a braver sole than me.

Just off to have a look at the new pictures, the one's of you skydiving were amazing and made us smile!

Speak to you soon - keep the blogs coming really enjoy reading them and passing on the info to all - think I might be boring peoply to death telling them of your adventures but still - will keep talking - you know me.

Speak to you soon and as always Keep Safe

Love Aunt M xxx

Hi Sarah,

This is bringing back so many memories for us - all of the amazing places that you are visiting. We also loved Franz Josef and milford Sound. Did you get to go to Puzzle World at Wanaka? We also thought it was beautiful there.

Hope you took lots of obligatory photos at both mirror lakes! Your blog is making addictive reading and I've even got Martyn joining in now! What an incredible journey you both are having. Someone worked very hard in planning all of this. Take care both and be happy!

You did it then Laura, another sky dive - you make it sound fantastic but I still think I would give it a miss. What about the bungee jump then is that next on the agenda or did Stu's description of his bleeding eyes put you off.

Whatever you get up to next keep safe.

Miss you

Hi Laura

Hiya

Your bringing it all back to me i.e. Pack N Save. banoffie Pie Chocolate which I didn't like but try the Lemon Cheescake flavour its nice, chocolate fish, the indifferent weather that New Zealand has.

We got back last Thursday dinner time, not sleeping for days and I had to come back to work Friday. Our jet lag doens't seem to be getting any better and have not yet slept a full night always waking up about 3 or 4am and not being able to go back to sleep !!!! You'll have this to come.

Glad your still enjoying yourselves and must admit, this time I am missing not being there... didn't have the same thoughts last year. The air is clearer and I even managed to get up most mornings and go for a run up and down the very steep hills they have there.... Kev and Marie's drive is a challenge on its own.

Keep having fun, x x x

I hate you!!! So jealous!! Wish I was back! We stayed at base in gum boot town! Spose everyone does. Southern laughter hostel in Queenie town is pretty sweet if you get sick of the bases?? Check out Lake Tekapo, so so blue! Fergburger in QT, Shotover boat, canyon swing, Buffalo Bar is pretty sweet, Live bands! Ice Climb at Franz! Oh make sure you do NEVIS!! Come on do it for me!!!! Do it! Be Brave count to five, then sensory overload kicks in!!! Say hey to Gandalf, he knows who I am. Nough of this mickey mouse bulls**t!

Hi Sarah, Hope you are ok after your falls on the volcano/mountain! You both must have been exhausted. I see that you have checked out your mums facebook page. I dont think that shes seen it yet! I asked her to send me a message but nothing came through! so I think you are correct I think that you will hve to show her how it works when you get back! How on earth are you going to settle! You have done so much on this trip its amazing! I guess you must be on the South Island now so enjoy!

MISS YOU!!!!!!!
