Hi Sarah

Well I can't believe we are on our last full day in New Zealand. Very random weather we're having here in Dunedin. We leave our long flights back tomorrow at 3:45pm from Dunedin to Christchurch, then Christcurch to Dubai and Dubai back to sunny old Manchester !!! Hopefully if all flights are on time we should be back in England Thursdsay 11:30am which will be Friday 10:30pm Friday night here. Friday I have to go back to work so not sure how thats going to go. I'll be very jet lagged and tired I can imagin.

Hope you have a fab last few months. Shame we couldn't have met up in NZ but I'll se you when you get back.

Love Lorraine x x

Hi Sarah I dont know what I am doing but ikeep sending stupid short messages! yOu 2 are having the most amazing time how on earth are you going to follow all of this - I am so jealous. Back in Sydney but for how long? I know that the next stage is New Zealand! You will so miss OZ but you have got some more amazing times to come. Carry on having 'the time of your life' and take care love Chrissie x

Hiya

New Zealand weather has been great so far, its been a bit overcast in the mornings but by dinner time its full sunshine.

Thought the flight was torture this time and never slept a wink the whole time. Getting to Manchester airport was a pain, it took us 3 hours due to a lorry crashing on the M6 with gas canisters on board, just made our flight by mins. We had to circle Dubai airport for 25 mins due to a dodgy landing and bits over the runway. Got the Sydney and I was bomb checked and questioned but I passed with flying colours but was a scary moment as the bloke was old and stern. We eventually landed at Christchurch airport and was picked up by Marie and Kev and then drove another 5 hours to Queenstown. We have been up the Gondola again and been on the looges, fun, then drove to Arrowtown where I did my bungee... scary stuff, then another 4 hours later we arrived in Dunedin which is where we have been since Sunday night. We leave NZ next Wedneday afternoon on the long, long flight back to the UK.

Emai soon, have fun x x x

Thank you for your postcard. It was lovely to hear from you. Aunty Jennifer and Uncle Wayne kept me up to date while your Mum was away. She had a good time didn't she. Keep safe and take care. Lots of love xxxx

Great to have you here sorry it wasn't for longer. You were both such fun company and will obviously go far!!!!! Stop winging about the rain though - Aussies never moan - only the Poms do! It's such a precious resource here! When you go back home tell everyone how lovely the rain is and never moan again! Veni, vidi, vici Robert & Sue
