Hi guys,

I love reading your blog, you explain things very well!! WELL DONE on your skydive, I couldn't think of a better way to see NZ!! My mum said exactly the same as yours (after I did my bungy) about being glad she didn't know until afterwards. Hope you are still taking millions of photos - they will be an amazing reminder for the rest of your days together.xxxx

Hello Soph' When we saw that skydive we said 'freaking hell' too.. You must have been estatic when your feet touched the ground.. Can see your friends crazy though, she grinny like the cheshire cat and he was mad too wasn't he.. I bet Jack was terrified watching all this happening. can't wait for you to get to auntie Caths & uncle Dougs so we can see how her children have grown..What an adventure you & Jack are having, wonderful! Take care, love to you both...nan, g'dad & mar' x x x

The OffExploring web was down yesterday - Superb photos - What a huge thing to do.. and the views - Wow. And Kilimanjaro is another 7000 ft above where you jumped out. Hmmmm. That will be quite a walk.. I bet the camper van is fun - try and keep it tidy !!!

Hey Darling,

I'm so proud of you, my god your brave obviously take after dad. The pics were fab and what a great way to see NZ. Glad i knew when you'd landed and not before dont think i could cope. Bet you just remember no JET SKI'S ever. Feels like you've been gone forever miss you loads,

Hope Jack's ok and still training,

Talk to you when your at aunty Cath's,

Omg Soph!! How brave are you. I was talking to your mum about it and she said you definately get your dare devil side from your dad!!

Wow pictures look amazing. You must be so pleased with yourself for doing it and if your going to do something like that what an amazing place to have done it.

Bet Jack was glad when your feet were back on the ground as were we babe. Well done

WHAT A FANTASTC TIME YOU ARE HAVING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We never realised it took so long to walk over the SH Bridge. AWESOME - the holiday of a lifetime.

Now you will be in your great mother's country Sophie and Cathie's too, of course. I hope the weather will not be too cold to put you off and that you will be able to see how beautiful the mountains and glaciers are in some sunshine.

We just love sharing in all your experiences. Keep them coming.

Thank you so much for the beautiful postcard Sophie - the Koala looked really happy. Why not one of Jack with a Roo??

Miss you too - XXXXXXXXXXXXX to NZ Gran anad Grandpa
