Alan Hi Nikki and Michael. Well you certainly seem to be having the journey of a lifetime with spectacular photos on your site. Really great to look at some of the sights you have seen. I notice you write on Nov 5 th "no fireworks for us". You should have flown back for our bonfire extravaganza! + Spectacular fireworks. We thought you would come back! Linda and Ron + Al, Paula and Georgia were all there. We missed you. Continue to enjoy. See ya, Alan & Vivien.

Paula I'm really enjoying reading your blogs, though they're making me very jealous! Hope you're enjoying NZ and beginning to feel clean again... Six weeks today and we'll be flying out to Perth to see you. Can't wait! Georgia sends love to her God-mummy and God-daddy. Love Paula xxx

Sarah Miss you guys. Also I was just looking through the pics and noticed an exceptionally large number of pictures of zebras..... any reason why? Sarah xxx

Linda For 'new' read 'knew'.

Linda Enoyed the photos particularly the one of Nikki kidnapping children and the one you Michael with something strange on your head. I always new that your musical talent would out eventually. Looking forward to your next update - Mum
