Well we are almost at our journeys end. We are now in Honk Kong Airport waiting for our flight to Heathrow. We have had a great time in Honk Kong and have been on the go since we arrived. We have managed to cram an awful lot into a couple of days. It really is a facinating place, with sky scrapers everywere. We watched a terrific laser show last night from the skyscrapers in Honk Kong whilst we were having dinner in our hotel in Kowloon. It was fantastic....so was the dinner. Can't wait to see you all and getting stuck into the decorating! See you tomorrow. Lot"s of Love

Hi Everyone, Thanks for the messages. Hope your cold is better now Megan. Happy Birthday Mia and Ben. Will give you both an extra cuddle when we home...not long to go. We are now at Sydney airport, waiting for our flight to Hong Kong. We stayed over in Christchurch last night in a lovely motel, sheer luxury compared to the campervan but had to be up at silly o clock to catch the 6-45am plane to Sydney. Can't tell you how much we have missed everyone Looking forward to seeing you all next week. Lot's of love

Hi from Kaikouri,
It's us again! Just come back from another fishing trip....well I have! Sue spent the afternoon in the sun with the sand flies. Caught plenty of fish Blue Cod, (nice), Red Cod (not nice) Sea Perch(very Nice) and all for about 35 pounds. Fish all gutted and filleted....that is after you have caught them! So guess what we are having for dinner? Wrong! we're going out for another steak.
yesterday spent in Hanmer Thermal Springs but we decided to spend the afternoon in the bar rather than the spa. Hey Ho.
Our journey in New Zealand is coming swiftly to a close and in another week we will be home. Really looking forward to seeing everybody. Picked up your message Andy about the phone . Thanks for doing that but I can't activate forom NZ ,sorry for the hassle. Will write again soon.
Lot's of Love

I haven't put a messege...
Hang on, Mia wants to type something....7uiuu hg8ddazsrdfj....isn't her spelling good. Bens turn.......
Sorry, he has decided to throw a paddy so no typing today. Where was I? Oh yeah, I haven't put a message on here in ages so thought that I would give you a bit of an update ...
Sorry, Ben has decided that he does want to say something.......mjdjgjkhmjnbhnjjhhngbbbbbbbbbbbbbbiu iy\t mnmmmmmmmmmmmbcccbbccccbbbbmm.....You can tell that he has been reading the Theasaurus. No really he is currently reading the Theasaurus. Albeit, upside down but we just think that he is showing off.
Anyway, back to the update! Nothing to report really......That was worth waiting for wasn't it! We're all good. We're all missing you. Sarah and I have lost nearly 2 stone between us over the last 6 weeks. God I fancy a kebab or a KFC. But Heyho! We had a bit of a pallarver (i don't know if that is right or not but I'm sure you know what I mean.) on Friday as Mia fell over and banged her head on the plug socket. She had a massive purple bump on her head stright away so Andy came over and looked after Ben whilst we took her to A & E. Needless to say that she was fine and the bruising has gone now. Infact it had pretty much gone by the time we got her to A & E. Such is life. The kids spent couple of hours at Aunty Jues on Saturday whilst Mummy and Daddy went looking for Birthday pressies. Today is Driving Range and Gym Day.
Dad, (A slight change of subject)I could really do with you getting into golf when you get back. As you know, I'm not very good and I think that you are the only person that I am likely to beat. I need a confidence round so, you get back on Tuesday don't you, so how about Tuesday afternoon because you won't be tired or anything? Let me know.
Well that should about do it. I can't think of anything else to tell you so I shall say bye.
"Bye!"
Sarah and the kids send their love and we can't wait to see you both.
Lot's of love

Hello Nana and Grandad
I can't wait until you get back. It has gone quite quickly. Love you loads and miss you loads. Going to Burwell with the school at the end of March (can't wait.) Mum has just taught me how to play draughts. I will challenge you Grandad when you get home - but no cheating. We had a go at playing draughts and I won. Dad has gone running and Megan's at her friend's still. Mum and I are going to make Scouse for dinner (thank you GG.)
Love you Ellie xoxoxoxo (x = kisses o = hugs)

Hello Everyone,
We have had quite an eventful couple of days. On a coach to a boat across a lake to another coach then down a 2km tunnel to an underground power station...just like a James Bond movie Russ. Back up the tunnel to another boat, a catarmeran (is that how you spell it?) this time out into the Doubtful Sound towards the Tasman Sea. Absolutely stunning. We saw Fur Seals and one solitary Crested Penguin on a rock. Think it might be a mechanical one which they work from the catermaran (is that better?) It was a fantastic experience. I have got more photographs of rocks and mountains than Steven had of fish in the Maldives, as difficult that might seem!
We have also been on a helicopter flight to the face of Franz Joseph Glacier...fantastic! My camera is knackered but plenty of photos on Sue's camera...more shots of mountains. Oh boy are you going to be bored out of your minds when we get back.
On countdown now and we will be making our way to Hanmer Springs Thermal resort tomorrow and Sue is hoping that the bathing will be Unisex as she is really enjoying this aspect of our holiday. Will write again in the next few days.
PS Hope the house move goes well R+G. Hope the job is going well Tim Pank. Hope our house is still standing N+P. Hope there hasn't been any further weight loss in the male side of the White household. well done to Rhys for being in the money on the Fantasy League...again. Must get of this machine now as my money is running out.
Love S+K

Hi
Great to speak to you again. Doubtful Sound sounds superb. I think we'll need a serious family gathering when you get back to look at all the photos!
All is well here with not a great deal to report. Darren has taken Harvey off to Holme Wood for a long walk / run. Don't know who was more excited Darren or the dog! Eleanor and Megan are aggravating each other silly for some reason today. We've already had tantrums and tears - roll on bedtime (although Megan is sleeping at Jorgia's tonight so things might quieten down sooner rather than later with a bit of luck.)
Megan is getting rather excited me thinks about her birthday (don't know why she's not getting any presents!) and her red party on red nose day! It's amazing how obsessed I've become about all things red. (Red paper plates, red serviettes, red icing, red wrapping paper, red sweets, red ... - I think you probably get the message by now.)
Paul and Sandra James are coming up this evening. We haven't seen them in ages so will be nice to catch up. They were going to stop over night but change of plans now. Perhaps just as well because Darren is doing a cross country race tomorrow morning in Northamptonshire.
Anyway, just about it for now - best go and show willing and start to prepare some dinner (alternatively I could just have a little doze and wait 'til Darren gets back??!!)
Lots of love
