Back in Reddish

The Whites arrive back in Manchester & are greeted by number one son.
Couldn't resist adding this one of dad hugging tree -however in spite of repeated efforts I have been unable to upload the image rotated so you will just have to lie down & view it sideways!

Singapore

Didn't have a chance to send one from Auckland as internet in hotel expensive.
We had our last meal in New Zealand in the Sky Tower there.
Flew back here yesterday & had a super day today
Dad wanted to go to the bird park so we went off in a taxi with a couple we met from the tour & after that decided to carry on to the Singapore version of the London Eye (Singapore Flyer)
it's bigger & better than London!!!
Then back shopping - Dad has bought another camera!!!!!!!
Rick Kathryn Luke Amelie - have a lovely holiday (What happened about the house?)
Ed - ETA around 7 am flight SQ 328 Tuesday morning
love Mum & Dad

Hi,
Arrived here yesterday and took a boat trip this morning around some of the islands. It's the spot where Cook first landed.

Rotoura







We had a lovely drive here yesterday through some spectacular scenery.
We stopped at some spectactular waterfalls but the weather has gone off a bit & it was very drizzly - We couldn't see the volcano for cloud.
We went to the thermal geysers & mud pools this morning at the mauori arts & crafts centre where we had a guided tour. The carvings were fantastic.
Tomorrow we are off to Bay of Islands. Dad has booked a flight up & drive along the sands but not sure if I'll go with him depends!
love mum & dad
