Kia Ora!
We arrived in New Zealand yesterday, and its definitely a lot colder than Sydney (although as Adelaide was a few degrees colder I seem more acclimatised.) Louise and Jordana are wrapped up in several layers and have the heater going full blast!
Unfortunately it is a bit grey and drizzly here, but we have booked up for activities for the next few days. Tomorrow we are going on a Funyak on the Dart River (Funyaks being inflatable kayaks I think). Then Louise and Jordana have booked up skiing for Wednesday. I'm not going this time, so might be sedate and go to the pictures or go wild and do the tandem skydive (Lou and JJ seeming to be not that keen.) We're hoping to fit in a tandem hang glide too, but the visibility wasn't good enough to go today.
We've done a bit of shopping and are going up to a Maori Haka show in an hour or so (I love those Maori concerts!) Fingers crossed for decent weather. So very sorry if you are still rainy in the UK...! Did you manage to see those photos OK? Do leave those comments. We love to read them.

Wow seems like the trip of a life time - I'm so proud of you Jordana for all the amazing things that you are doing. Missing you heaps, thanks very much for the email - so jeaslous of all the daredevil activities you have done and will be doing. Can't wait to see all the photos. Still can't believe you are halfway across the world. Warwick is very wuiet without you!! We are all fine. I will text you wed to let you know how appointment goes but it will be nothing to worry abolut I'm sure. Baby Ison sends it's love to you - it is moving around alot and tiring me out - it misses it's aunty's voice. Warren is also wondering where you are as he sees your car at nanny and grandads but you are no where to be seen!!! Can't wait to hear about all the activities you are soon to be doing in NZ.
Missing you with all my heart love you loads
Nicole, Horris & Baby Ison xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Goodness me, I can't keep up with all your adventures and I only have to read them!!! It's best if I'm not made aware of the dangerous details till post event.... please, or else I'll have to ask for additional calming pills to be prescribed! ENJOY. All my luv & missing you HEAPS xx xx xx aka Ros...
My golly have looked at those temperatures for Tues and forecast will be mighty cold. Hope you've taken ur thermal vests & long johns!!!!
Incidentally, what does Kia Ora mean? It reminds me of an orange squash I used to drink when I lived back in Gib!

have you managed a day without a hangover? well done. pictures were really good. are you going to bungy jump?
Can't believe what I am reading - rafting-skiing-skydiving - what next Jordana !!! - when you get to Las Vegas make sure you win some money !!!!
Sounds as though you are having a whale (scuse the pun) of a time - although your mother is having kittens thinking about you attempting all these activities - go for it girl !!! Hope the weather improves for you as it has for us - we have seen some sunshine for the last few days. Looking forward to seeing all the pics luv Jim

Wow sounds like you are having a great time I'm dead jealous. Can't believe Lou is turning down the chance to be strapped to a male although i understand reluctance to skydive! A small request from Hannah when you see Ann can you say hi and she send her love. Keep enjoying and i look forward to reading more love karen
Hey Cath, having completed my travels I thought I'd catch up with you and yours.
Got rained on in Aussieland again, huh? LOL.
Enjoyed our visit at the wedding, though I think I went all shitfaced drunk mid conversation. Sorry.
And why you don't ever make it out Frisco way is beyond me... then again, maybe that is the reason. lol
Anyway, will keep track of you via your blog.
Safe travels!
