Hi guys & gals! No chance to up load the latest photos yet as most campsites have e-mail access BUT NOT the chance to upload stuff as they fear virus attacks from unscrupulous users! We're just outside Dunedin and meeting up with Richard's long time MAN customer/friend Gary tomorrow night (it being Tuesday afternoon now).
Nick, Phil Steve and all, thanks for your message - keep working hard, we're passing LOADS of JD's on the way round and even saw their factory in Melbourne the other day!
Thanks to everyone else for the messages, glad Eric has been able to see the photo of Dennis and Bev with us. CS, yes, YOU MUST see NZ for yourselves, no question! J&E, Jill says many thanks for the book, most thoughtful and should last till we get back to the UK, something to do while Richard pplays with computer and camera! Jax, will put up a close-up of the new jewel when I get a link which allows. We have LOADS more photos waiting! FG, you'll have to share Gandma's bag as we can't go back to HK and they won't allow us to steal a Wallaby! Will post a psot card later -love from R&J to everyone xx

Happy Birthday Jill! Strange to think you are sleeping your way into your birthday and I'm still on Friday. Guess you are in New Zealand and may even be in Dunedin. If so please give my regards to Gary and my love to Dunedin. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Dont forget the train trip!

Happy Birthday Jill - have a really fantastic day. Slightly different to Venice - have really enjoyed seeing all your pics etc, what a fabulous holiday.
Am off to S/Africa on 15th April for Sarah's graduation - they fly this Sunday.
Much love to you both
