Hello Steve went to the Turkish side of cyprus today, not alot to report except the deserted town is a bit spooky. Couldn't get to close because the Turks class it as a millitary base.
Going diving tomorrow down possible 40 mtrs. Going to see the cargo ferry called the Zenodia. It went down on its maiden voige in 1974 with all its cargo of new cars bmws no less and trucks.Its class as one of the top wrecks to visit in the world (fantastic). Im going to see if i can get a badge as a trophy. Where are you son havent herd a dicky bird from you in ages. Nan and grandad say hi as do dave jan and linda. Love you loads Dad.

hello to everyone!
just to let you no we havnt fallen of the face of the earth or been eaten by the shifty dolphins, you cant let your guard down for a second when there around, especially when robs trying to talk to them! it just enraged them further. apart from that the boat trip was good it was worth the $30 just to see steve staggering about on the boat like it was friday night!! phaia was abit on the quiet side in the evenings (purple rinse) so we left there yesterday and drove back to auckland via 90 mile beach... which was just that, a 90 mile beach took a few photos as it started to rain then headed on back down to auckland. we had another relativly quiet evening in auckland last nite because we spent most of the evening trying to find an indian, eventually we found the equivilent of an indian mcdonalds which.... youve guessed it, didnt serve beer! how can you have a curry with no beer! today we have driven down to rotorua which is south of aucland it seems to be a bit more lively but we will no more this evenig, atleast there are alot of activites to do here, bungey, white water rafting , zorbing , drinking etc. will keep you informed of what we get up to!

Hello boys,

Sorry I havent wrote for a while but been busy working, playing and watching football and getting hammered with the boys.

I realise I forgot a match report so I will give you the two on this one mate.

Just looked at the message board and i've realised that you are missing three so here goes.
First one I missed was our home game against Stammers team, Invicta Sunday. We drew 2-2 in this game, we went 1-0 up, they equalised and then went 2-1 up, we battled on and got a deserved equaliser, oh yes Jim man marked Stammers and he didnt get near goal, thatll teach him.

2nd game was against Fishermans Arms at the home ground, I had my best game of the season against these, I scored 2 and set up 3, we won 6-0, domination for the Holtwood boys.

Weekend just gone we was at home against White Horse, very entertaining game which ended 1-1, that point took us 4th and no-one can come above us now so a pretty good season for us.

This weekend we are at home against Burham, who need 6 pts from three games to win the league, doh. Anyway I shall let you know how we get on. Palace have guaranteed in the playoffs just where we finish now but Cardiff is looking good mate, shame you aint coming, was a blast last time.

Speak soon!

ello boys, enjoy NZ. my fave country ever!
are you going to be in auckland again as my aunty would love to meet you!
message back.
love you stevo

Hi folks, and thanks for all my birthday wishes. And a big Thanks to Pete and Jilly for there kind hospitality over the easter weekend! Was great to sleep in a proper bed, and sorry for drinking you out of house and home ; ) I really enjoyed cruising around Auckland habour. (pictures to go on the website shortly!) Weve made it up to the bay of island now, bit of a wet and soggy day, so were going to try and find a decent campsite for the night, and do a bit of site seeing tomorow, hopefully we will get the chance to swim with some dolphins, maybe not Gray though, as he has developed a bit of a fear of them, (there not guna eat you mate! ; ) All the best, Rob : )

hey guys! just seeing what your up to. frank just isn´t the same without you but i am sure you´ve moved onto better things now :-( i really didn´t like saying goodbye to the both of you on our last night. well, the new guys are nice but it will never be the same. its´s true though that steve´s words and phrases are used daily. anyway, more importantly, happy birthday rob! i am so glad you made it to new zealand on time, you really didn´t deserve all that. you were so sweet in santiago, i just wanted to give you a big hug.

lots of love and stay safe! danielle
