Hi. We have been doing a quick tour around the north island with Ross and Kate, now in the bay of islands which reminds me of Cornwall, and out to swim with some wild dolphins tomorrow hopefully. The camper is still in one piece which is quite unbelievable considering how windy (as in snake like) the roads are. Nice scenery though. Will update postcards soon. Thanks for keeping track. Us x

Nicky Free Fall ?!?!? Brilliant photos!!!!

Hi guys, I have to admit its gonna take a lot to top the photo of Nicky the octopus! Hilarious! Hope you are all well, its weird seeing you all together. Almost as weird as it is to see Nicky with a sun tan! Hope it stays sunny in NZ, take care all xx

Just been looking at your photos with Chris -you're certainly experiencing the highs and lows in NZ. He and Ian would lova a go in the ball and the flying sleeping bag thingy! Things are less exciting here but Ian has started driving lessons and C is getting to grips with riding Ian's old bike with 10 gears. Was in Cardiff at the weekend and thinking of you particularly. Keep on having fun - you both look wonderfully fit - and take care of yourselves. Lots of love. xxxxx

You as an Octopus, my favourite photo so far! So much so, it's now my screen saver and makes me laugh every time I turn on the computer. Thanks! Take care and keep having fun. Hugs Jo x

Hello Nick and Nicky - have enjoyed looking at your photos with dad. So pleased to see you looking so well and enjoying yourselves.Take care and lots of love.

Hiya Both, you look as if you're having a fantastic time-keep it up! Photos look amazing- you wont want to come home will you! Spoke to Nanny Molly this morning and she was very excited about you ringing her on her birthday. Emma, Stu and Becky are on their way to Dubai so I am looking forward to some peace and quiet while they're away, but no doubt I'll miss them as well!!!! Take care, be in touch again soon, look after each other and keep safe.Lots of love from us all. xxxxxx

Dear Aunty Nicky and Uncle Nick
Thank you so much for our Easter present, we are looking forward to holding the book ourselves but mummy keeps holding it just out of our reach when she reads it. It is a lovely story. We think mummy has been reading it to herself when we were asleep as it was't in our room when we woke up! We noticed it was gone and mummy has put it back on the blanket box were it will stay until after bathtime when we can listen to it again. Thank you!

Hi both Happy Easter! Ross called to collect a few things and was looking forward to celebrating his birthday on the plane!! Wasnt quite sure about your new set of wheels! Hope NZ now warming up for you though no doubt you were glad of more air.Kind of Neville to help you with the van. Hope you are looking after the 3 youngsters well and enjoying the last few days in the apartment before going on the road agian. No doubt Neville will have given you some tips on where to go.
