Hi everyone!
Hi Skis!

Wow! White water rafting - you crazy chicks! Cant wait to see the pics! You sound like you are having the trip of a lifetime, we are still very jealous, unfortunately by the time our mortgage has been paid off and we can afford to do it we will probably be propped up by zimmer frames!!
Mum and Dad came over on Saturday and had a look at your pictures, they too are jealous!
Cant beleive its only 3 weeks til xmas - have you decorated Toby yet!? Finsihed our xmas shopping now and your room is full to the brim so dont think of coming back coz we will have no room in the inn! I propose to spend this weekend wrapping but we have Chloe coming Saturday whilst Sarah and Steve go out just for a few hours but cant wait - Chris is really looking forward to changing nappies!!!!
Anyway my bed is calling me as some of still have to work - I do hope you think of us working away whilst you have a walk on the beach or go for a drive - I imagine it s hard life out on the road!!
Glad you are both well and look forward to hearing from you again soon.

All our love.

The photo`s are fantastic you really have got to grips with that camera of your`s. Didn`t think the sign was that funny we all love are children, however grown up you think you are Lol.
Everyone here is great and they all send their love to you both.

Hello my lovelies,

Just read your last message, sounds like you are still having a great time. Zoe you do sound like you are upto your old tricks!! Glad your enjoying yourselves though. Cannot wait to see the new batch of photos-the ones so far have been fantastic.

Well I am entering my last week at school on monday-can't believe I have been there almost 6weeks. The time really does fly by. It's all going well though. We don't really have much other news babe-nothing nearly as exciting as your days.

We miss you so much, was great to have a text from you babe, I will get back to you I promise!

Take care,

Lots of Love Jem and Dave xxx

Hi campers,
How are you both?
Homesick yet?
Every night we go on to skype and see our little flag go green, then Steve and Sonia's flag goes green and we know we are all waiting for your flag to go green.
The funny thing is we don't skype together cos we might miss you two - How stupid is that??
The last lot of photos looked great - you must have tons more by now!
Is the weather improving now you are travelling in the North Island - when is their hottest time?
Nupe's alright - he's given his weekly runout on a Sunday - I think his third gear misses your gentle touch though!
Hope you are still having a fantastic time (and that time isn't going too quick)
Always look forward to hearing from you both.
Take care - keep living the dream!

Luv u both loads,
Mum and Dad
XXXXXXXXXXXX

Evening Campers!!!

Thought we would just update you on our week to date! No more cars sold since Monday, Dan's lost his magic touch already! (Didn't take long, he he)

We skyped Mark and heidi last night (Thursday) and nanna and grandad came round too! They all looked well especially Neve with her very blonde hair! Hopefully you will get the chance to skype us one day soon.

Bens room has undertaken some major refurbishments this week and WILL be completed this side of Christmas as Ben and Traci will be coming back for Christmas.

To Pipey,

Think you must have jinxed me cos I haven't sold a b****y thing since you left your last message! Mates rates are subject to approval so feel free to pop in for a quote (free of charge!)

Back to Zoe and Paul,

We are off to see the new Bond movie tomorrow night in Norwich much to Amanda's disapproval, ha ha! We will put a review on you message board for you.

Hope everything is going well with the camper van and no smelly socks are lying around (there wont be cos your now wearing sandals, ha ha).

Seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee you old bassetts later

Love and hugs

Amanda and Dan xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

hi guys,
hope you are both well and still enjoying kiwi life.I have just got up to date with your e.mails and photos "wow" what a fantastic place Newzealand looks! Very impressed with your photography skills! It was brilliant to speak to you both on the phone,it made my day,thanks for that mateys! Not to much news from Lowestoft town or the Congalton/Rout households. Bradley is counting down the days until we put up the christmas tree and I am counting down the days until we see Kasabian"oh yes,bring it on!" I am working all weekend which is pretty poo as there has been a horrendous outbreak of the 'loose and nasties' (if you know what I mean). Luckily I've not been affected(touch wood!) Had a nasty suprise Wednesday morning whilst combing Bradley's hair, a new friend popped out to say hello and had laid a fair few eggs around the back! So we had a fun morning of shampooing and conditioning over and over again,Brads was not a happy bunny! Anyway I shall be on my way. Keep having a great time and look after eachother. Love and miss you both loads and loads, hugs and kisses from Lisa,Andy Bradley"nit boy"Rout. xxxxxxxx
p.s I was watching GMTV the other morning and they were advertising this new show in Las Vegas by the Cirque de solaire(not sure if thats the correct spelling). It was called "Love" and was about the "Beatles"(music). It looked brilliant! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

hi, lovely to sleep in a proper bed with beautifully crisp sheets last night in wanaka. making you briefly jealous. wanaka is stunning just wait until you get here we are having a couple of days chilling out did not realise how tired we were. Spent two days is Haast and the morning we got up to take the tent down the wind was gale force. Kite surfing comes to mind, divorce was nearly in the offing!! but we have survived. The Top 10 in Franz Josef if top notch but there are lots of campervans already suggest when you get within a couple of days of it you book your accomodation if you want to stay there. Dough boy lookout walk at Hari Hari lagoon, just before franz is spectacular and easy and also okarito is lovely. DOC leaflet for walks around the glacier area gives the details. Sat on the beach and watched Fiordland Crested Penguins comes in evening at Jackson Bay nr Haast was excellent too. Lovely to speak yesterday and we should now have a signal for a few days. Glad you are enjoying Napier we never got there. going away with simon and joanne for a day or two high up in to the hinterland. should be exciting. got to go Markie is getting the urge to have an icy creamy what a surprise. this is the hardest decision we will have to make today hokey pokey or boysenberry. Just remember to keep sipping, clicking and licking (icy creamies). PS Burt sends his love but Gerald is p***** off as he has a rival. Love Mark, Heidi and Neve XXXXX

Hi Ski's,

It was great talking to you the other morning, beats Chris Moyles voice any day!
I forgot to say that my stars had said I would receive news from afar which is how I guessed it was you! Also, everyone else knows better than to phone Tracey at that time of the morning!
Chris has just looked through your pics and is very very jealous but also so pleased you are having a great time. He has started saving already! We think its great what Mark & Heidi are doing with Neve, what an amazing adventure for her. It has certainly given us some ideas!

Can I just use this time to say hi to everyone else on the message board! Well done Dan with the car sales, do you do "mates rates"? Its nice to hear Ben has settled down, at last! Will we hear wedding bells anytime soon!!

Anyway must get settled for I'm a celebrity as dont know about all you guys but I am hooked!

Loadsa love, hugs and kisses Travelski's!
Thinking of you all the time, green with envy.
With love, The Homeski's.x.x.x
