Hi Steve,
Thought I better post a message else everyone might think none of your family knew you had gone travelling....
Great to see you are enjoying yourself and also to hear that you had a date !!! Guess she was like the penguins and there was a photo ban as well .....
Like the 8 day growth photo , only problem was could'nt tell which way up you were as both ends of your face now look the same.
No news from Plymuff to mention really , as you know don't follow the greens as would rather waste my money getting drunk. Gives pretty much the same result though, I talk rubbish, burble,dribble and cry a lot.
Anyway have fun, keep up the blog as its good reading.
Ps. I promise to start up your bike and car this weekend and take them for a burn.
Andy
I've been reading your blog at every update and by reading between the lines I can tell you are really missing the "olde sweate shoppe" so I thought you may appreciate a git of Goss.... A) Colin Gibbs is off to AIB to take up a senior post in the Bank, & B) Adrain Heelis has resigned and is moving to another bank. Also it's our Christmas Party tonight, so feel free to dance on a table around lunchtime! I'm sure your dinner date would get plenty of mileage from that one!
Have fun, stay chipper, and keep posting those photos it helps us to smile during our dark winter days.

Update on dinner date - She was 23..she lied! Also was a psychiatic nurse and so this is why she was interested in me...thought I was mad! Meal was good and the final blow was that she came from Somerset UK!
We had a great laugh and had more than a few wines.......

Stevie boy
You look just like me in that photo in NZ.

Steve,
you're looking very rugged in the recent photo mate - either that or you've been up all night... so how did the dinner date go?
can't understand why you're not allowed to take pictures of the penguins - why they hell is that? and I hope you just ignored them - turn the flash off and the sound and who's to know you're taking pictures... unless they girls notice you at the window of the showers you'll be fine...

Steve,
Have you checked below to ensure this nurse is in fact female?

Fascinating adventure! Update on dinner date, please and whether she brought her guide dog along with her?

Steve,
be careful of this nubile young nurse, I know what these female nurses are like, and I've heard that single men are hard to come by in New Zealand so she's probably only after your body.....
.... er... if you ever recover, we'll look forward to the next installment on your blog.... try not to leave anything out...

Hi Steve
I want to go to Argentina! Love the falls pics and I'd love to see the tango done by the real Argies. S America looks fab. Just taking a break from studying, first exam on Tues. Will try and send you pics of the prize winning car, hoping to be in local press soon! Glad you made it to NZ, look forward to enjoying next chapter of your journey. Knew you couldn't manage without me or Christine!!
