Hi Girls wow what a great time you are having. The Shed sounded great and the name belies its treasures. Enjloy the road, hope campervan driving is an art you conquer. Have fun, keep us updated - we want all the gossip. How about some photos?!!! Lots of love xxx

Hurrah for incredible NZ hospitality! Love the blog and the skypes-have taken huge vicarious pleasure in your amazing and very spoiling travels so far! Happy Campervanning! Love you xxxxx PS as your NZ Great Granny would say 'everyone else on the road.....!'

Hi Girls great to hear your news and that you are having such a good time. Fiji sounded fun while it lasted, but NZ could be better. On the golf course, well done Matt for getting them to play.
