Hello from the future!

Yes at last the computer bugs have been killed by the mod squad and I am free to blog again.

Not that I really have much to report, I am currently in Auckland getting ready to fly to Fiji. Over the past 6 weeks i have been travelling around New Zealand and i have really enjoyed it. The South Island is home to stunning scenary and free wine tasting, the North Island is home to swine flu and marine volcanoes. Thankfully when i caught my current cold i was in Queenstown (apparently you get a cold when you wear a dress in minus 14 conditions why did nobody told me!) so i am no danger to the public health.

The other thing i would say about New Zealand is that I should send all my single girl friends here! I have been travelling around the South Island with a variety of single female friends and now I feel that I have the wingman attitude sorted to perfection. It generally involves doing lots of dancing which I enjoy, and lots of falling over which I don't. Those of you who have seen me dance realise that I like to swing dance, and since I have been here I have taught a few people how to do it. This has been great except kiwis in general seem to believe that when you spin a girl they should let go, this has resulted in my knees looking like two beaten up peaches... very bruised.

So asides from a few hard knocks I have climbed on glaciers (very cold more bruises), have swum with dolphins (very cold and suprisingly hard to spot), and been to 2 rugby matches (very cold but with a good atmosphere especially when New Zealand win). I have also been to cadburys New Zealand (chocolate definately tastes different despite what they say), had lots of wine tasting ( oh yes darling has anyone tasted a good Gewertz), and walked into a kiwi (both the bird the fruit and the people).

Now I am off for my dinner before flying to desert islands for a couple of tan topping days x

love you all xxxxxxxx
