Hi there !
Glad all is going well and very pleased you saw Nev and Mo. Isn't he a great guy. Weather for Sunday in Auckland sounds good so hope all goes well for your glider flights. Did he show you his "Home Theatre".?
Love the idea of a camper van. Wonderful way to see the country.
We are having a lovely spell of fine Autumn weather at the moment.
Take care and enjoy yourselves. Gramps (xxxGem)

Yes its true she forgot her handbag again and I've told her not too try to blame me if it happens again. Anywho just to let you know if it continues I can call social services. Only joking. Have fun in the campervan it sounds fun. If you bungee youre crazy and if you throw yourself down a hill in a ball like a hamster you are even madder you crazy fools!!!!!!!!!! Speak to you soon. Sisxxxxxxxx
P.S I miss loads but i'm nice and warm in your room so stay away!!!!!

Hi Guys.

Mum was made up when you called on Halloween Gemma, shame i wasn't there but i was watching SAW III! shockingly gruesome even for me to watch. Bungee jump looks amazing, you crazy fruitcakes. Watchout for the sheep whilst driving, apparently their crossing roads is suicidal when compared to our superior welsh bred sheep. Gemma, be warned your mother is losing her memory! forgot her bag again yesterday, apparently it was Dads fault this time. Well take care, amazing that your so far away and having a life changing trip. Enjoy x

Hi there.
Welcome to NZ. Isn't a beautiful place. I have been to Puhoi on the way to Bay of Islands. If you have the time...do try to get up to Cape Reinga at the far north...scenary you will never forget.
Do hope you get to meet Neville and Maureen, they live a Regal Island (not a real Island) just West of Takapuna, north of Auckland. Enjoy your Bungy Jump, Jemma ! There is also one of those flying balls you get in and are catapulted into space just round the corner from the Tower.!!!

Enjoy your trip down to Wellington and across the volcanic plateau at Tongariro National park.should still be some snow there.

All the very best. Take care and fondest love.Gramps xxxxxxxxx
