hello there our fellow loyal friends! we are currently sitting in a red internet bus! the coolest internet cafe EVER! we have just arrived in Franz Josef which is situated just below Mount Cook! we have stayed in some random places over the past week including 'Old Macdonalds farm' (in which there lived a dicken) and Barry(no)town, which was literally a pub (which we stayed in...imagine the carniage) and 10 houses! so fun tho! we're off on a full day hike up onto the glacier tomorrow...supposed to be incredibly hard work, but will probably give us the most amazing views we will ever see! (except for the beaches in Figi...bring it on!) we're both absolutely fine and loving every single minute...its just incredible! keep e-mailing guys, we love hearing about what everyone's up to in oxford! hope ur all ok, lots of love B and Mark xxx
