Hi Guys Just got back from Kaikoura - visited a seal colony (Pooey - they smell but we got right up close) and where we also did some whale watching. Ab fab! Was an early start this morning - so we also managed to watch a pretty amazing sunrise on the beach before we set off - and then spent 2hrs on the water watching sperm whales. Well - actually I watched for about 20mins - and spent the rest of the journey dealing with severe motion sickness (embarrassed to say that I think I was the only one sick on the boat..) Pretty much at the end of our NZ trip now - hand the van back tomorrow and then spend a couple of days in a hotel (luxury beyond belief!) in Auckland before jetting off to South America - the home of Football. Hurrah! Will be very sad to leave (am sure I said that about Oz) but will be glad of a better time diff' so we can watch the World Cup at a semi decent hour. Only hope that we do not meet the Argentinian's when we are there - could be quite an experience (as my mum likes to say about everything that has happened ... "Mum there's a cyclone coming, Mum I nearly killed myself on a glacier... Oh well - It's all an experience is all I get!" Later dudes... Come on England.... :-) PS- Missing you all very much. But I suppose not so much that we'll come back early.. PPS - Toffee - Dean thought you're Monkey Magic question was very funny. I however, didn't know what you were talking about PPPS - Glad that you're all having a nice summer. We're freezing and I don't think that will change any time soon :-(
