Hi Louise
It just goes on..........the glacier was something else!
I am always logging into my emails to see where and what you are up to. Especially interested in NZ for as you know we hope to go there in the not too distant future!
I am off for a few days as we are having some friends come to stay, so will be enjoying taking them around Northumberland!
Not quite what you are up to but never mind, will be good!
Keep sending the messages.
Love J & J XX

NZ is so beautiful - everywhere you look it is so lovely! You must come here. Parts of NZ do remind me of Northumberland. Enjoy showing your firends around. L x.

Okay - I see them now - I think the computer was acting up. Where are you off to next?

My computer was doing that the other day. After NZ I go to the Galapogos Is, Peru, Boliva then Brazil (then home!). Hope all is well with you. L x.

Hey Louise - just looked at the album enttled whale watching - WHERE ARE THE WHALES??!!

Hi Lou
Back in Hexham for tonight so able to get online at mum and da's.

Spent ages looking through your pics, you look like you have been having an amazing time.

I spoke to Linds last nigth and metnioed you'd had a bug in Fiji hope you're all over it now (sounds like it!).

Def up for a girls trip. I'll check out some other options tonight and email you this week and if you're coll with it, i'll book it up! At least we can have someting in the pipeline!!!!

Missing you, can't wait for you to get back and come try some haggis!!! Or at least see Edinburgh!!!

Lots of love

Jo x x x

Will be up to see you in Edinburgh when I get home I promise. I am really enjoying NZ. Hope you are settling in to Ed. L x.

hey louise, thanks for getting me the books on aboriginal? and mauri art. i cant wait to see them when they arrive,------------?I bet the exhibition on mauri art was fatastic.?? love mum

I think the Mauri book will make in home next week but the Aboriginal one might be another month or so. To be honest the exhibition on Mauri art was really small, so I am going to go to the gallery in Auckland to see if they have any more. L x.

HI Louise,

Wow,loved your pics of the wales aNd dolphins,those dolphins got really close didn"t they.

Terry and I saw whales off Vancouver island B.C., there is something very magical about them isn"t there?

But the water was sooo blue where you were,and clear,unlike BC.

Continue to enjoy N.Z.,

and take care,

LOVE ,

Barbara and Terry xxxxxxxxx

Hi! the dolphins were really close, they swam right up to the boat - it was really cool. I really like NZ, the scenery is so beautiful. L x.

G'Day Louise,

hope you're enjoying New Zealand so far.? I forgot to mention that its a lot cooler than here in Oz and cooler still down south.? A bit English too, may make you feel like home.? Nothing out of the norm here.? Hope your having a grouse time!!!!!!??

Oh?by the way when?you go to the glaziers it is a better experience to hike them than to get the helicopter.

Hi Pauline - yes it is freezing here at night time. I had to go out and buy some long sleeved tops! I am having a grouse time though! Ha ha! I am climbing Franz Joseph tommorrow - really looking forward to it. L x.

HI LOUISE,

JUST LOVED THE DOLPHINS AND WHALES!? AT LEAST YOU DID NOT GET IN THERE AND JOIN THEM IN A WET SUIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TAKE CARE. LOVE MUM AND DAD AND TIM

Apparently it isn't that cold when you swim with the dolphins as they give you 2 suits to wear. Maybe next time?!? L x.

Hello Hello

Hope you got my email.

Things are just so busy, as explained in email!!!

Extra note, house completes on Friday now... no going back!!!

Missing you so much.  Love your photo's. Enjoy NZ. X X

Hi there Louise!

Don't faint with shock, but I thought it was about time I added a message to your message board!? I did send you another email the other week but I'm not sure you got it.

I've been enjoying hearing all your travel news so far. Sorry that Bounty Island was a disappointment, but it's good to know you haven't lost that English complaining nature!?

I was in Italy last week visiting my friends which was lovely, but I'm back at work now!?

Keep the updates coming!! And carry on having fun!!

Love anna.x.

Sorry I don't think I must have got that email. And yes - I really did think that you had gotten flattened under some books this time!! I bet you had a great time in Italy! Email me soon with more news! L x.

Hi Lil One

Hi! Yes my tummy is fine now - but I hadn't had cramps like that before from bad food/water. It wasn't good! I had a great time diving. Not sure if I'll be diving much in NZ it might be too cold.
