---------------------------------------------------------------
Hello again, Rob!
Nearly two-thirds of the way through the trip now. Still having a great time but missing you like crazy! Been in New Zealand nearly a week and have met up with Catherine at last. Like it lots here. It has many advantages over Australia, the main ones being that it's smaller and cooler. Still, 3 weeks in Oz had its good points, despite the 44 degree heat! Kangaroo Island (near Adelaide) was my favourite place - loads of wildlife - did I tell you I'd seen some platypus there?
Here in New Zealand, first thing we did was buy a car. Went to the classy sounding "Del's Cars" and, using our extensive mechanical knowledge, chose a car and gave it a thorough examination (checked the lights worked and the glove box could hold 8 large bars of chocolate). It's going OK so far, but sometimes makes strange noises! We're taking things nice and slowly now. Have already seen dolphins, whales, and enormous albatrosses.
So - that's it for now. We're heading up the west coast next. Thanks for all your emails - it's great to get news from home. Can't wait to see you. I'm sending you some photos so you won't forget what I look like!
Love you. Wish, wish, wish, you were here!
Sophie xxxx (Catherine sends love too)
