Hey Guys I can't believe how mad that rafting looked, it really does make the rafting we did in France look like the oasis wave machine !!!! We've just come off the slopes after a mad and knackering day we've been miles and my legs are dead !! Lovely scenery here but not as varied as all that you guys have seen. Catch you soon continue to have a fab time a i am sure you will xx xx xx Jodie

Hi Guys, It looks like you are having the most amazing time and you are both so brown...mega jealous. I really hope that you are both having all the fun in the world and meeting some brilliant people. I hope that you had a great time over Christmas and New Year, I was thinking about you. I willeep in touch more from now on, I'm sorry I have been rubbish over Christmas, but it hasn't been the best for me as you can probably imagine. Anyway enough of that, keep in touch and have the time of your lives. Take all the care in the world Loads of love from Vickie xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

WOW WOW WOW your new piccy's are ace and it was so cool to get your package in the post this morn you really will have the best scrap book ever - I can't wait to help you with it. I am refraining from looking at the CD so you can tell me all the stories that go with them when you return. We are off on Wed to go skiing in France I really cannot wait. Ellen has baught a Black Labrador Puppy so when you get back and get a dog !!!!! we can all go out doggy walking together xxx She has no name for her yet so if you have any ideas let us know. Missing you loads, was doing more scrapping today and your piccy's keep popping up :( You so look like you are having the most wonderful experience so both are sooooooooooooo lucky Mail soon - JODIE xx

Hi Victoria & Matt I have tried to send you an email a couple of times now, but have not been able to ( i am still learning!) Jon showed me how to get this message board up so thought I would do this instead! I just wanted to wish you both a happy new year and hope that you are both having a good time, thanks for the card Vicky it made my day. Hope you are both well, and had a good xmas and new year. luv & best wishes to you both Sandra

Hello guys. We are sat here looking at your photos and are so jealous, and wish that we had come with you!!! The idea of gettin the camper van sounds awesome, you will have so much fun and can go where ever you like. Matt, take care of your self and don't do anything I wouldn't do. And tor, that jump sound crazy, but you have to do it. Missing you guys loads!!!! Lots of Love

Happy New Year to you both. Really good to catch up on your news and your time in NZ. Dont think I really want to think about your crazy ideas for extreame sports though. Matthew I think you should stick to sun bathing and eating, I am sure you have already broken some records there. Take care of yourselves, love you lots. Mum xx

Hey guys HAPPY NEW YEAR to you both tey not to eat too much chinese I know wot your like vic's!!!. Do go careful with the body surfing white water thing!! If it's anything like me and al did in th french alp's I would go with big caution. I thought I was a pretty good swimmer until I did it I was SOOOOOOOOOOO SCARED but then I am a girly I guess!!. We went MT Biking on Thurs and yes I fell off again ( just a little one this time though). A cousin of ours is coming over to oz on the 6th i'll have to see where she's off to. The camper van sounds ace, we also have an aunty out there at the mo who did a month in a camper and loved it soooooooo much they have packed up all there work etc back here and now gone for a year!!. Just go careful apparetly some of the roads are quite dodgy and really should be driven by 4by4!! I can't believe it's been a month already, although I miss you loads it is ace keeping up on this log it makes us feel part of your big adventure too xx love ya lots xx big hugs xx ttfn

Hi Matt & Vic Sounds good in New Zealand! The place you really want to go to in the South Island is Queens Town, thats where you can do the Nevis High Wire bungy jump from but my advice would be to book a place now but give yoursleves a few weeks to get there and stay for about a week as its the best place in NZ by a long way! If you are unsure of how to book a place just go into a travel agents and they wil sort it out for you. If you want to Ski the cheapest place is to do it in Christchurch as Queenstown is expensive. Make sure you go to a place in the south island call Kaikoura and stay in a place called Dusky Lodge. If you need any more advice let me know. Have a good New Year and stay safe, Lee

Was great looking at your photos! Enjoyed reading ur journal entry - how high is that bungee jump???!!!! Crazy! Hope you had a great Christmas. Happy New Year!!!!!!!! Rob xxx

Brilliant photo's, so good to catch up on your news.Think Lee has said it all about Christmas Day!!!!!. It was great to receive your call and hear your voices,missing you both so very much. Enjoy every minute . Love you lots Mum

WOW, wot a crimbo you guys had, your pic's are gorgeous I am so jealous. I spent the day in Wales falling off my bike as norm, but yeh skiing in just two weeks if we can find somewhere to stay !!!!
