Carol and John (Christchurch) Loved reading your experiences, Zoe, especially swimming with the dolphins. John had a go at sandboarding on 90 mile beach a couple of years ago (aged 71) I stood there with the camera and snapped him rolling over, trudging back to the top, rolling off again....! You'll surely remember all this holiday. Our son Jon (grandson of a Wills/Willis) gets home from Cambodia on Tuesday having completed the climbing wall in the Kidzone. He visited the temple Angkor Wat and said it was "just mind blowing". Hope you enjoy catching up with friends and rellies and returning to "normal". Best wishes, Carol and John

Vince Parker Really nice, I was in New Zealand last year with my brother .we struggled to find the right accommodation at first, but eventually sorted it out using http://www.trivago.co.nz We didn't go sky-diving, but we went kayaking and it was quite the adventure. I'm looking forward to going again.
