The Earth IS flat!

Hey everyone, hope you had a great christmas. We have now spent the last week or so in New Zealand - The coldest and wettest place on the planet!!! We've spent some time in Christchurch, Kaikoura and Nelson. New Zealand seems a very pretty country, even if it does rain all day. It's bloody well like Manchester!!

Nikki's Ma and Pa have joined us and we spent Christmas with them at Nelson Lakes. Bizzarely, christmas day was very hot so we relaxed by the lake and I spent most of the day reading Steven Gerrard autobiography in the sun.

We are now at the Glaciers and it has rained (torrentially) for the whole time here, which is about 2 days now. Amazing! We have booked ourselves onto the fox glacier guided walk for tomorrow. Things should hopefully warm up then!

Anyway, if we don't write before new year, hope you all have a great new year and let us know what you are all upto. We are spending our new year in Queenstown and I have roped myself into doing a skydive, but we'll see.

Have you ever..........ever felt like this.......

Hello from Melbourne. Spent quite a bit of time now in Melbourne as we both like it very much. Would be perfect if it wasn't so cold here. Bizzarely though, we've had our hottest day the other day of 42 degrees! T'was so hot we couldn't go anywhere and had to stay in anywhere that had air conditioning. Luckilly I had the idea of James Bond in a nice cool room.

We've spent our time in Victoria visiting the sites including the Neighbours set where we managed to meet Max, who gave us some tips for travelling in New Zealand - very nice bloke!

We spent the previous week travelling along the Great Ocean road and into the Grampians which was great. Will add some pictures of the events asap. Good to hear the news about the Reds possibly being given a small cash injection. Would love to see the Chelsea fans getting worried!! Anyway, will be heading back to Sydney in a few days then we fly off to New Zealand.
